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.

Wilmington High School has a great community and is inclusive of everyone. The best part of going to school every day is getting Munchie's cookies at lunch.

My experience at WHS was honestly all over the place. Covid happened during my freshman and sophomore years. We had online school which was very organized and worked pretty well. So far my junior and senior years back in person at school have been very well. The teachers are outstanding and work so well with any student. I enjoy attending class and being at school every day because of this well-developed environment.

Although Covid was poorly come about, overall the system of learning is good. But, I recommend they focus on helping the students excel more who are able to, and allowing the other students to be placed in a different class or curriculum.

They have a long way to go before they are "21st Century" teachers. They teach the basics and hold back students who excel! The Administration is very weak and it appears that the teachers and students run the school.
