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.

Wright city is a growing district is struggling to keep up with its current growth. Facilities for the school could be better and they need to think more about the future rather than just satisfying people now.

It really is a great school we may not have the funding other schools have but if you apply yourself the teachers are very generous in offering there service.

The teachers at this school are incredible and really care about the students. I feel like I learned a lot and was decently prepared for college due to my AP classes. The counselors, on the other hand, might as well have not been there. I did most of my college work on my own. Many AP courses weren't offered that I was interested in and they refused to let me take online courses to graduate early.

My school is an amazing school. The teachers are nice and help the students with nearly everything they need, and the resources are abundant.

Wright City has the best math teacher in the state in Rick Halteman. He has improved test scores greatly and he does his best to help students excel. He always comes in early before school or stays late after school to help his students. Also he is a great basketball coach and deserves to be head co...
