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.

My best experience at Wenatchee High school, was my sophomore year. The amount of teachers I had helping me and supporting me through that year was amazing!!! My worst experience was the end of sophomore year, where most teachers I liked were let go due to budget cuts. :/

One of the best parts of my experience while attending this school was the friends that I had made. I had just moved across the state and was afraid that I wasn't going to make any new friends. When I joined the schools swim team, I ended up meeting my friend of almost 3 years now. It's safe to say that joining the swim team was by far the best choice I had made during my time at Wenatchee High School. There wasn't many things that I didn't enjoy, but there were a few teachers that I believe didn't have as much experience as they should to be teaching the subject that they taught, but over all, I enjoyed majority of the teachers that I had and even made some good connections with a few of them.

Being a wenatchee panther was a great experience. I learn alot about many different subjects. I met some incredible people that I will continue to talk to. My teachers we're always willing to help me to get through anything I needed whether it be school related or not.I do with that kids vaping in the bathrooms was ended and that it isn't a issue in the schools future.

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.
