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 have attended Whitwell's schools all my life. I have loved the cultural and academic experiences that I have had here. I feel as though they have prepared me for life after high school. One of the only things needing improvement is the up taking of the schools building. Our school is older, and is needing work done inside and out. Hopefully soon we can get some help and full-fill those needs.

The true high school experience. At WHS we have had ecstatic pep rallies, rowdy Friday nights, and early Monday mornings. Like any school WHS has its flaws, but nonetheless it does not dull the experience. The staff truly make the days easier by making sure we (the students) are taken care of. In Whitwell there are hand fulls of families that suffer from poverty... WHS does not discriminate. They welcome everyone to get a free education and to help build their future.
