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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I loved going to Calamus Wheatland High school because the teachers are great and help in anyway they can. The counselor there is great!!! He helps in getting ready for college and or getting jobs after school. Calamus Wheatland High is a great school with small class number.

My experience at Calamus Wheatland High School has been awesome. I love the small school feel and knowing all my classmates names. I also find people at this school to be very nice and inviting to new students.
