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.

In my experience, Waynesburg Central High School is a very pro- further education school. The staff and administration do their very best to be here to help us with finical aid, scholorships, and applying to things such as collage, sats, ect... the worst part of being at waynesburg is the small amount of funding towards music and arts programs. the sports get majority of the districts money, leaving behind little to held out with arts programs and classes. I'd like to see that the school is more fair towards art programs.

I graduated from WCHS. The academic programs were challenging, the teachers were kind and helpful, and there were extra curricular activities for all interests. Overall I found it to be an accepting and wonderful place.
