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.

It's pretty good and I get learning. The school has definitely improved over the years and has been getting better.

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.

My experience at Whitewater High School was mostly positive. I was able to participate in many diverse activities. I only wish I had more academic support in transitioning from virtual learning to in-person learning during Covid-19.
