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.

Whittell is a great school but is very small which makes courses very limited and school spirit is not very big. The upside of having a small school is we are like a family. Everyone knows everyone and we are all very supportive of each other.

It is an all around awful experience. I had been a popular, well liked girl. This is not biased. I see kids going around calling girls thots. Bullying is a common occurrence.
