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.

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.

Overall great experience. I think there could be improvement with deadlines for assignments and tests. It seems each term the students are expected to have major assignments due and expected to study for exams within a short period of time.

Everyone is very academically driven, which is a positive thing, and the classes are very independent which is good prep for college, but the school culture is toxic for many that go here.

I got a good education from WHS, but overall the culture at the school puts way too much pressure on students. This pressure comes less from the school itself, and more from other students and their parents.
