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.

When I started high school, I felt lost. Coming from a small school, everything was overwhelming—there were so many people, so much technology, and I wasn't used to the constant class discussions. The teachers were supportive and appreciated my hard work, which helped me adjust. By sophomore year, I had settled in more, though I still struggled with two classes. Gym was tough due to bullying, and history was harder than I expected. In junior year, I joined the drama club and landed an ensemble role. However, I quickly realized I had overcommitted myself with swim team and robotics. Balancing everything became overwhelming, and I found myself struggling to keep up. While I don't plan to do another musical, I'm glad I gave it a try. It was a fun experience, and I learned a lot about myself and my limits. High school has been challenging, but I've grown so much. I've learned to push myself outside my comfort zone, balance my responsibilities, and ask for help when I need it.

It was really amazing there, I think what made it better was having connections with the teachers there I felt comfortable to talk to them at all times if I had any troubles. what only sucked was the sports too focused on football and spent more money to the football program than any others. I would like to see some changed on how all the sport programs should be funded evenly than just 1 sport when we don't have a good record.

Whitewater High School is a decent school. Most of the teachers are great at their jobs and care about their students. There are many options for classes, although, I would like to see more. There are many clubs you can choose from. The school tries to get the students involved, I just wish there was more room for parent involvement.
