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 is very neutral, being enrooled since a freshman and I won't say my time there has been bad or good, just not really interesting.

The school is not very good in terms of making you better at college testing. They need to put more money and time in making Kids better at college prep than doing middle school work

What makes Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design great is its diversity and available resources. I was able to connect with a lot of people and learn and grow as a student and as an individual. What the school lacks however is alternative classes such as music and theater. I feel as a student that kids talents and skills should not be limited because of the lack of resources the school provides.
