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 would say the worst part of going to wooster was the fights my sophomore year it seemed like there was a new fight every week. It got a lot better when the new admin came my junior year. They cracked down on a lot of rules but I honestly think it was for the best even if some of them were a little excessive at some points. The best part was the people I met and the friendships I made. wooster saved me from the horrible bullying I had at my first high school Robert McQueen. I wouldn't trade switching schools for the world it got me to open up and I ended up with more friends than I had my entire life in my senior year. Our school sprit has also been revived so much it went from no one went to the homecoming games or assemblies to there wasn't even enough room on the bleachers to fit everyone. looking back now I cannot find anything I would change

Feels like half the students don't care but instead of failing those students instead make other students go slower in class to accommodate those who don't care. Lots of problems with students using substances and vaping in restrooms, improved after the administration changed but it is still a significant problem.

Most teachers are nice and it's easy to make friends but our school spirit needs a lot of work. No one ever participates in school functions and it makes the high school experience boring.

I was in the IB program and at the time I hated it. I didn’t realize, though, how much it was preparing me for later in life. Currently I’m serving active duty in the military overseas and taking full time classes through the University of Maryland and I’m surprised how well I’ve been able to manage...

My daughter is in the IB program here as a Freshman, and she is pushed hard every day by her teachers.These teachers may appear to many that they don't care, but to the students that want to get an education and go to college and be something great in life, know how to tap into the teachers and get...
