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.

I attend an amazing high school. The agriculture classes are my favorite part about my day. The teachers there are wonderful and would go out of their way for any student on campus. The only thing I would suggest to change is expanding the facilities of the school including the North gym, farm, bathrooms, and parking lot.

I've been going to WUHS since my freshmen year when I first moved to a nearby suburban neighborhood. I've had a pretty good experience, but the school is not very diverse and cultured. As a young woman of color this can be an issue sometimes.

Wheatland was surprisingly more diverse for being in such a small town and it offered a lot of college/job readiness programs as well. There are many amazing teachers however racism can be a big issue as well as favoritism. There are many activities to partake in and there seems to be a great sense of community if you so wish to partake. However when it comes to sports many coaches are not fit and will make a sport unenjoyable for many. Depending on the sport it can be great since for example track has 5 coaches for such a large team and it makes it possible to make close connections. As well as the campus being small it makes it easy for people to know each other which has it's pros and cons since many rumors spread easily. Overall the school has it's pros and cons just like any school but it definitely has been an overall positive experience for me.

I have seen WUHS grow and improve in the last few years into one amazing school. They offer Dual Enrollment College classes and have 11 to 12 CTE pathway on campus. It is truly amazing to have this school and its staff in our community.

I would rate my experience at this school (as a white impoverished female taking advanced classes) as a 5/10.

I have a freshman at the school and am very disappointed! It seems very few are concerned with struggling students and the leadership is horrendous! I have been met with leadership who seems to be unconcerned with academic success. Many teachers are terrible inconsistent with their grading and do no...
