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 best part about this school is the staff as the teachers are supportive and helpful. The worst part is the food and cleanliness .

I am currently a s senior at Watertown-Mayer high school, I've grown up in the small town of Watertown. I can genuinely say that I enjoy going to school everyday, I get along with all my teachers and peers. I think Watertown-Mayer has a good student environment, we maintain a positive attitude when walking the halls, or in class. Watertown-Mayer has gave me no problems nor issues all throughout my time here.

Watertown-Mayer has been a great fit- not too big; not too small. LOTS of opportunities for students to be involved in athletics AND clubs/ organizations. Great for kids to be able to try new ways hints and discover their passions!

Do not go to this school if your child is in sports. Horrible football coaches. They do not know how to coach, don't play the better players, play who they like and have only won one game in two years. Good players, but such poor coaching.

All the teachers are related or know someone. Horrible football coaching. They have new coach and haven't won a game in almost 2 years. Good players that need a good coach. They don't play the best players. They play who they like. It's sad!
