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.

The best parts included some of the staff and relationships I built within my time there. However, the lack of student support, outreach, and assistance was unsatisfactory.

At Wilkes Central High School, some teachers can be fun and help students who need it the most. In my experience, however, Wilkes Central administration has done little to deal with bullying, especially of neurodivergent students who are forced to interact with their harassers on a daily basis with no intervention.

Wilkes Central has provided me with many new opportunities. The best part is the amount of school spirit that I have seen and participated in throughout my four years here!
