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.

Many of the teachers are so amazing. I will always be incredibly thankful to teachers such as Mr.Barden, Ms.Robertson, and Ms.Mineo

It's nothing special, but they get the job done. The teacher staff is mostly very friendly and inviting. Academic scores are fantastic as well. The only two real problems with the district is the lack of cleanliness and a lack of extracurricular activities. Other than that it's a decent school.

My experience with Marcus Whitman High School has been a good one. The faculty is nice, and the student body is great. Due to it being a small school you get to know everyone, and form close friendships with the staff. You are able to go to any teacher for help and they will help the best they can, there are many classes to take and choose from, ex. photography, symphonic band, electronic music, art, etc,. Some thing that i would like to see change is the budget that goes into the music and art programs. Put less importance on sports and bring back the music and arts. Marcus Whitman High School is a great learning environment for anyone.

Not a very good school. Many teachers are mean and have favorites. Few extra curricular activities are offered. it is so small that it is hard to make friends and easy to be unpopular.
