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.

The school I went to was overall okay. I just wished for more opportunities the school could've helped with for those who worked hard.

I love the size of my school. Being in a small school means that everybody knows everybody, which can make the environment a lot more pleasant. Faculty and staff could improve on communication throughout the school year because sometimes word doesn't get out about certain events during the year. Overall though, it is a very good school.

The one thing I love most about Ware Shoals High is that you know everyone. You are a name and not just a number to the teacher and you graduate with the same kids you started kindergarten with. The one thing I would change about Ware Shoals High is the favoritism it shows. Because it's such a small school and everyone does know everyone there are sometimes situations that can advance you by knowing the right person. It can be about connections, of who you know.

WS High is a small school with a big heart. Staff members are caring and kind, and students are respectful. Safety is a priority and the historic building, is well maintained. Class sizes are small, giving students the opportunity to have a more personalized learning experience.
