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.

i'd say my senior year i saw the most change within my school system. We lost lots of teachers and had many classes with no teacher to teach it. We had to resort to online courses for classes like my AP Stats. This was just unheard of and I had very little hope of learning things in this class. Just too many classes with unprepared teachers.

Whiting High School is FANTASTIC learning environment! Everyone has a chance for success. Our teachers take extra time if we don't understand something. Our classes are academically challenging. We have a lot of extra curricular and art programs. Our school is small and sweet.

My child attended a private school for 7 years in Whiting and when we gave Portage (we live there) middle schools a chance, I knew I had to put my son back into a small school environment. We are Hispanic and have NEVER been discriminated in any way. I...
