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.

whitmore lake high school is a small school located in whitmore lake michigan. the graduating class this year will be about 54 students. we are considered a secondary school meaning we have 7th-12th grade in our school. since there are less kids here the teachers tend to pay more attention to the students. overall its not a bad environment if you like small schools, personally i am a fan of bigger schools that is why i gave the rating i did.

I really enjoyed my time at Whitmore Lake, it is the only school I have ever attended and the sense of community is something that you will not find anywhere else. I have never felt more accepted anywhere else in my entire life.

I really enjoyed going to this school. I would say the only thing I would change is some of the teaching staff. I feel like some of the teachers make kids more confused then they help them. I, at one point, decided to just not listen during one of my classes and teach myself the information and I felt better off than everyone else. I had the highest grade in the class.

Besides special programming the school has added tons of technology and, to date, is one of only three LEED certified schools in the state of Michigan.

As a parent you're always concerned about doing what is best for your child. At Whitmore Lake that same concern carries over with both the teachers and the principle of the school. We have run into to nothing but caring and compassionate individuals dedicated to teaching our child. While the school...

This school might look good from the outside, but once you know what goes on in here is a whole other story. As me being a student here, I believe that this school is not worthy to attend. Since a VERY tight budget is in place, the school has cut down on 40% of its elective (fun) classes. The teache...
