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.

During my high school experience at WCW I have made the best friendships & most memorable memories. Going into high school I wasn't sure what to expect or if I'd be accepted. I had my last choir concert tonight and cried more tears than I ever could have imagined. I created the tightest bonds with the best teachers and admin staff and couldn't be more grateful. It may get lonely but you learn to find your true friends in the process. It's crazy how fast the time goes by.

I have continuously had kids in WCW for over 10 years and still do. I am far from impressed with the academics, counseling, and overall quality of teachers. There are some excellent teachers, many average, and several mediocre to lazy. The soccer team is almost all Hispanic and clearly turns a blind...
