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.

Wenatchee High School is very good at finding opportunities for students and finding ways to help them, but heavily lacks in creating an environment that student want to learn in because there are no windows, the A/C does not work, and most people there are rarely upbeat.

Overall Wenatchee High schools is a pretty okay school. The teachers are very nice and try their hardest to teach the students. The facility is not the nicest and the lack of windows can be very hard to deal with. Even though the building isn't the best the staff and ASB put lots of effort into trying to make the school as welcoming and fun as a High School can be.

I would like to say that I am glad to have attended Wenatchee High School, before i joined Running Start, I was a full-time student and felt that the energy around me was not only safe but motivating as well. The teachers truly want you to succeed and the students around me aren't outwardly trying to hinder your education either.

Teachers are not very interested in teaching. Several spoke about their personal lives rather than actual teaching. New girls basketball is awful degrades the girls and only plays the rich girls with loud parents. Bullies are not felt with and are often bullies to the teachers

I appreciate the effort WHS is making in this time of remote learning. It is not an easy problem to "fix" but they are being creative in their approach to make sure all students are successful. This is not the senior year my daughter wanted but the school is making it the best it can be for her.

Worst school ever that a dog can even run a school. Lots of vandalism that our tax dollars pay for those repairs. Bullying is a huge problem. When we report it, NOTHING HAPPENS. Don't waste your time with councilors.

My four daughters have had a great experience at WHS. The staff cares deeply about the students. Very much appreciated by this parent.
