The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We moved to Wayne just a few years ago and the reason was for me to get the best education from a public school. I have enjoyed my time in Wayne and love the sense of community. The teachers are always willing to help me to succeed

Out of my four years being a student here, I found that Wayne Hills High School was one of the best schools that are public. When comparing it to other places, WHHS has a very diverse and well rounded curriculum for each year focusing on what the student needs to succeed.

We have had two children go through WHHS. One child had difficulty and one was a very motivated student. Both did well. The teachers for the most part took an interest in our children's individual needs. The school offers a wide array of activities. The band program is outstanding. The AP and honors...
