GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

The school is overall an excellent place to attend but there are some negatives in administration, teachers, and some students that can be fixed. Overall there are good classes and good structure of building.

It has been a good experience with Wayne Hills High School. The best part about the school is the wide range of sport offerings. The grounds are well kept and there is a vast outdoor space. What I don't like is that my kids tell me the bathrooms are full of kids vaping. It seems there school is no enforcing a clean environment.

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...
