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.

I had such a great experience here. My teachers made the biggest impact and I formed many lifelong connections with some. The student community however can be troublesome and difficult to deal with sometimes, especially for administrators.

I am entering my senior year at Walter Panas. Overall the experience has been great. The teachers want to see the students succeed, and the administrators are always available to you. Something I love about Panas is how bright it is. The colorful environment makes for a great place to go. A downside would be that there are massive cliques. It can be difficult to feel like you fit in at times, although, Panas does offer something for everyone.

When I first stepped into Walter Panas I knew it would be a fine fit. From the sites to the color combos, Panas is a great high school. All the teachers are very influential towards the students education and we all learn of course the academic view of courses. But we learn a lot about life too. Panas has a good vibe when times we play 4 way in gym and the holidays are very festive.

Like all other schools there are issues with students bullying other students, but so far the school has been responsive in these matters. Athletics is pretty weak but we were not concerned m...
