George Washington High School has given me a wonderful high school experience. The teachers truly want every kids to succeed.
7/13/2024
I have really enjoyed my first year at Washington. I love the feeling of community that we all share, and the many places where people can fit in. Although there are many places to fit in (sports, music, theatre etc) we can do better about actively including the kids who may be scared to join.

George Washington high school is basically where I grew up, I've been going there since my freshmen year and I will now be a senior this year which means that it's my last year here. I'm really gonna miss all of my friends that I made and all the teachers that I got to know, but now that I will be a senior I'll be starting a new life once I graduate.

Not a safe environment for those with learning disabilities. They are placed with those with behavior problems with only creates an even worse learning environment for those with L.D.
7/20/2023
I think these scores are misleading and I would hate for folks from our if town who don't know the school to believe these numbers. There are some students who have attendance problems and their absences do hurt their scores and graduation rates. But for children who show up every day you have great...

Fabulous! My kids went on to highly selective colleges and felt well prepared and also had a great time in all the quality extra-curriculars-- got to do a little of everything! Coaches and drama/show choir folks work together so students don't have to choose just one thing.

Above average curriculum for advanced students. So many language choices! Wonderful Chorus and vocal programs. Diverse student body advantage.
