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.

My experience at Weaver High school is that it's poor, it doesn't keep students safe. Students get bullied, it has not well workers. I would like to see change in the teaching and the workers rebuilding the school on time. Also, I'd like to see that the diversity in my school.

Weaver high is a good public school, but some things can change. Some of the teachers don't really teach or know how to teach. I'm not a troubled student in fact I have no discipline history from that school and I've been there all my life. I've always done well in school but I've always had those classes that I struggled in. Math for me is my weakest subject, but I noticed in one of my math classes that almost half the class was struggling too because of how difficult the teacher was making it.

The school doesn't offer multiple classes, or electives, you only get 2 different choices of electives.

Students are afraid to tell their authoritive figures because they don’t seem welcoming or they don’t understand. Last...

Weaver High School is a Wonderful School. The Guidance Counselors, teachers and Principals are Awesome! The staff works very hard to identify those students whose performance indicates they need help and ensure these students have the tools they need to get back on task.
