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 would say my experience was within the normal range of high school experiences. i when to football games, i when to proms and homecomings. i just don't think i have the best time i could because of sports. that school loved their sports. i played volleyball my freshman year, and played on their summer team going into my sophomore year. i was cut at the end of the summer during tryouts. because i couldn't serve over hand. the only reason at bother me was because no one helped me try and get better. when i could have had so many more opportunities i couldn't because of one little thing.

If you are friends with administration and involved in a major sport or program, you can have a wonderful experience at Wheeling Park High School. Tons of fights. Little enforcement of rules. Ceiling falling in, can see through the stalls in the bathrooms- very old. Class sizes are not small- not sure where this site gets the 13:1 ratio. I would say 20% of our children's teachers are fantastic. They do a lot of nothing most days and work way ahead because they're bored.

I had a great experience. I was involved in many clubs and sports during my time here. My first 2 years here it was tough getting used to all the vaping and drug exposure in the school. I then became apart of game changers, which was an organization to help kids quit drugs and I loved it. I enjoyed sports here so much and even became a state champion. My favorite year was my junior year because I felt I learned the most and started getting ready for college, which the school set up for me by a lot.

My experience was ok but the crippling thing is that they allow students or encourage students to make false accusations on other students like me. A female student I was friends with made false stalking accusations on me and other false complaints on me. I don’t know how things exactly went down bu...
