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.

Weehawken High school compared to many others has many pros, such as their involvement with the community, and the effort the administration puts into the school. However, it does have its cons; this school does have many students that were caught for smoking , teachers are constantly coming and leaving that school, and many of the clubs on their websites barely meet on every two months.

I think Weehawken High School fosters a close-knit community that provides students with a variety of connections, clubs, sports, academic opportunities, etc. WHS is a great place for students to learn together and take the next step in their life thanks to the guidance of the teachers/administrators. It would be great if we could update our sports facilities to allow athletes the most success in their sports.

I went through this district from Pre-K to 12th grade, and honestly, I can cou...

Teachers are engaging and accessible - they care about my children and both of my boys are thriving. They are currently freshman, achieving straight A's and taking one of the many AP classes offered at WHS to help prepare them for college.
