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.

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.
