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 can be outstanding. The school is a safe space for sure and learning there is definitely fun. Though the teachers often do not give fair attention to the people who need it. For instance, if a student is bullying, cussing, or being distracting, the teacher doesn't do anything but the little stuff they care about.

I'm a teacher, so I think I have realistic expectations... I have rarely, if ever, needed to give astudent an F as a semester grade. As all teachers I've had some students with learning disabilities. Imade sure they and their parents knew expectations, and if they expressed themselves poorly I somet...

Like the most recent reviews (2023) our experience at the middle school is disappointing and stands in stark contrast to our experience in WPS prior to this. Our child also has the math teacher who is known as the teacher who "doesn't teach." Yes, the kids are shown YouTube videos for instruction, a...
