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.

I have really enjoyed my time at Weymouth High School, I started here when I was in 8th grade and got involved in the cross country team and track team. I am also a part of the Allied Health program. Both of these have successfully set me up to succeed in college.

They have had to close bathrooms before many times because of destruction and/or vaping. The school is pretty inclusive (or at least it tries to be) with many after-school extracurriculars. The test scores are usually above state average.

As a senior in the graduating class of 2017, i strongly believe that this high school has prepared me for college.
