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.

This is my third year at this school. In general I think they offer well balanced course offerings to appeal to students at different levels academically. The sports teams are not as strong as others in our league. The teachers make themselves available regularly for extra help.

Needs significantly more ap classes, does not prepare students enough for high level universities, not a good college prep school at all. Since school did not offer calc BC I have to put myself through college calc when many others had the opportunity to take this class in highschool.

The best part of my high school education is all the teachers who have been so willing to help students. Whether it's an in-school or out-of-school problem, the faculty at my school is very caring and very willing to help. However, some of my classes are out of control. I have had the same French teacher and the same kids in my French class since I was a freshman. All three years, I have been able to learn very little French due to the behavior of my classmates and the lack of control my teacher has over them. French is a language I am very interested in learning and I hope to be able to take it in a more respectful environment once I get to college.

I have gotten bullied here and none of the staff cares, in fact they somewhat encourage it. There is only one teacher that has ever supported me and she’s leaving.

Wolcott High School Administration is very inconsistent when applying policies to individual students. Dress code policies are CONSISTENTLY ignored for some students (athletes, overweight students etc) and harshly dealt with for other students. It is a athlete-centric school. Over the past couple of...
