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.

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.

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.

Great teachers, manageable work load. The school is starting to become more of a vape and drug school which is disappointing because this isn't the school I attended as a freshman. The school offers good classes for my major such as CPR and Firsr Aid, UConn med term, intro to health and medical field, as well as a nursing class

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...
