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.

My experience at WL was influenced by Covid-19, so i didn't get the expected high school experience. However, the school itself is amazing. There's some amazing teachers, a lot of resources and help if you ask for it; it's very good. My minor grievances is the school lunch is lacking, and the school could do a better job of readying students for college/senior experience.

It isn't a very safe school, I feel like anyone could just walk in. However, the courses are good and we offer a lot of variety in our course selection. Ranging from car technology to music and song writing.

The best part of my experience at Washington liberty were all the people who have supported me and helped me grow as a person. The worse part is really hard to say since I can't really saying anything bad but if it had to be anything it would be the counselors as they are there to help but don't reach out to help with colleges and stuff as much. I would change the way the school prepares us for college as I feel like I'm not ready.

I don't know how Great Schools has come to the scoring number that they currently give this high school, but I do know that it is an inaccurate score if it displays anything less than a 9.5 out of 10. I am surprised that they are legally allowed to link with so many online pseudo-realty websites lik...

Both our daughters graduated from W-L. Both were not full IB but did just fine in college. They wanted to each enjoy extra curricular activities while being able to do their homework.
