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.

My experience at Whale Branch Early College High School was good. It's a good school to start dual enrollment. You can graduate with your associates degree when you graduate. I participated in HOSA and Educational Talent Search. My GPA was always higher than a 3.0. I am also OSHA and CPR certified. I also graduated as a certified nurse assistant.
