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.

Weatherford was overall a good experience. The school pride was very high energy and made everything so exciting. Although the students had a good time, ultimately we are there to learn. The teachers were not engaging and wouldn't ever form true connections with their students prohibiting their learning.

Teachers and staff tend to only care about athletes and not attempt to connect with students or care about academic merit. Students are bigoted and bullying is glossed over by adults, sometimes it is even encouraged.

Weatherford High School is a fairly nice school with pretty polite staff and a welcoming environment. The teachers who have been there for a while and even the newer teachers are all very welcoming and polite and have a pretty intense passion for teaching and communicating with the students on a personal basis. They all are trying to make the world a better place.

As a parent that has had 2 children at WHS (and countless nephews/nieces), I can honestly say that the environment here has improved so much in the last 5 years! Overall, society has made education difficult, but the staff at WHS has taken this in stride, putting our children first. The school has t...
