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.

Good school. Joined Italian club and played football all four years. The classes I take count as AP that will get me ready for college. Made lots of friendship that will be remembered. The worst thing is dealing with the climate control in the school. Heating and air condition is not good enough to make you feel comfortable during class.

I transferred to Whipanny Park High School during my Junior year. I found that the students were not friendly or welcoming to me. The staff was okay. They weren't particularly helpful and I found they could be rude at times. Some staff members treated me well though. I think the school could benefit from having more diversity and better staff.
