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.

The staff works very well with their students. They are very understanding and accommodating. I would say that there could be improvements in allocating funds more evenly across all sport sectors.

I had a good experience at Wheeling High School. My teachers were always there to help. I enjoyed the being on Poms Dance team for 2 years. I wish the school spirit was more.
