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.

This school is very academically competitive. The education and sports are great. The level of school spirit is cult-ish for a high school and there is very little diversity but the school is great, overall.

I had a pretty good experience at wlhs. I was on the dance team my freshmen and sophomore year. The school is a bit cult-ish with school spirit - everyone loves the football team and people have way more school spirit than normal high school students. The sports are great.
