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.

Wareham is very close to being perfect. Since moving here a couple years ago, I have noticed that there is a strong sense of community. Everyone is extremely involved and helpful. I am going to miss all of the friends I have made along the way, as well as all the teachers who have guided me to where I currently am. This school, this community, is amazing. I wish for it to grow further.
