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.

Teachers were good and overall cared about their subjects and students and want you to succeed. The level of difficulty for many classes was often times dependent on the teacher, not the level of the class. I would've liked better support for out of state colleges from guidance counselors.

Wellesley high is a great place to attend school. Academics are rigerous, but teachers want you to succeed. Strong school spirit as "raider pride" is woven within the culture of the school. People are friendly and sociable. I have built strong connection and web of friends, especially through sports.

Best parts would include the actual education and opportunities I have been afforded by going to the school: ex would include school trips, AP Classes and Sports Teams. Down sides would include the social climate and the grading system at the school.

There are so many courses to choose from and the individual departments and teacher encourage student to challenge themselves, stretch themselves and not limit them to mid-level course offerings. There seems to be a lot of commun...
