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.

As we get closer to the end of another school year at WISH I felt compelled to write a review singing its praises. Our kids love the school, the teachers, their friends, the programs, the sports activities and everything the school offers. I've never seen such an active group of parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents that provide an extra layer of support. The teachers are world-class, and seeing how much our kids are thriving I'm so blessed that we have our kids at WISH.

An all around educational experience for a child and their families. We have been at WISH since Transitional Kindergarten and have moved on to the middle school, because the school offers what we should all strive for our children's education. The school is constantly looking to improve and strive for a future society.

Wonderful inclusive school with excellent instruction and data driven pedagogy. My kids have been here for 8 years and I couldn't be more happy with their progress and their sense of social justice. The inclusive model (including children of ALL ability levels) has helped my neurotypical children SO MUCH in their character development. The parent community is amazing as well.
