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.

Wayne Hills H.S. has something for everybody. Their sports curriculum is vast and they have many clubs. Communication between the administration and parents is great and most teachers really care about teaching. What I think it lacks, is in counseling kids on their move to college. There are many programs that I had to find out on my own. Perhaps a smaller counselor-student ratio is necessary.

Overall my experience was not too bad, however in some cases when things got very difficult some teachers didn't care as much to work with me. Since I moved here the students usually weren't as kind to me. there were teachers who were very kind and helped me succeed academically, but others not so much.

My time as a student-athlete there was highlighted by a work ethic unlike any other that is engrained in everyone who wishes to succeed in the school. It's a laid back experience, but not too la...

Absolutely horrible. I would never recommend this school unless you are rich and “basic white american,” you would fit right in. I feel bad for all the parents of the kids who bully kids who don’t look like them.

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...
