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'm a student at wheatley high school and have been for the last 3 years . During my time , i've witnessed a lot of changes like principle and staff change, and interference from the state of texas . overall , the experience wasn't horrible.

Going to Wheatley High School i was expecting a more high school feel, it feels like an extended middle school and as a senior i have not enjoyed myself not one bit.

Wheatley isn't the best high school in my opinion , but it's becoming better by the day. I used go to school every day and don't really know what I had learned that day. Now it's getting better sort of they just need to dial back on the michal Myers's rules
