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.

Overall, the high school experience at Whitney High School was okay. It had some good activities to participate in, and most teachers genuinely cared about our well-being. It was small enough the individual help was accessible.

My experience at Whitney high was a good one. Lots of supporting friends and many teachers who wanted the best for me. If there would be one thing to change, it would be the cafeteria food honestly.

They have good programs and it's where I grew up, so it is close to my heart. However, they have a couple of terrible teachers. Some of the staff act like high school students. They have to get new teachers constantly. We have had a different theatre teacher every year of high school.

As a retired teacher who has taught and substituted at WISD, I find the greatschools.org rating of 4/10 to be an overstatement. Like most government-run schools, they receive fiscal support based upon student attendance. The quality of the product (educated students) is secondary to attendance numbe...

We didn't know what to expect when we moved here - we had never even heard of Whitney. WISD has turned out to be the best school our kids have ever attended in Texas. We are staying until they graduate. They are excelling and are honor students in the high school now. WISD offers dual credit AP cour...
