Washington High School

Great school all my kids went there and the little one still here's enjoying marching band:::;Brian G.

My current opinion of this school is it is well organized, informative and a good learning environment. The rules are expected to be followed and the students are held accountable for ther actions. I believe in structure and communication and that is what I have experienced .

I hate this school. There is a lack of PROPER accommodations for certain students and some of their rules interfere with my academic and HOME life. It is an awful place. The only thing good about this high school and/or penitentiary is most of my teachers are very nice. Below I am recommending some excellent teachers if you have a child transferring or graduating there.

Excellent Teachers:
Mr. Patton - Special Education/Track Coach
Mr. Nusbaum - 12th Grade English
Mrs. Ober - Art I
Mrs. Hallex - 9th Grade Math (Rather strict, but if you behave, she will be your favorite teacher)
Mr. Barret - Health/Sex Ed

Thanks for reading!

PS Do not send your child there if he or she wants to work with computers or technology for a living. They DO NOT tolerate ANY electronics on school grounds.

For Parents:
If you want you're child to have a easier time there, make sure you get to know Mrs. Marcus (the principal) personally. If she like you and your child, it will barely be a struggle.

This school has an extremely homophobic principal,, who is a narcissistic bully. And who refuses to accept the fact that kids have the right to express them selves in who they are or in how they identify. For example she refused a boy the right to play football simply because he was gay. She also favors the cheerleading team,, they can wear skirts as short as they like yet no one else can.

If you're thinking about bringing your child here.... Please don't. This school is actual trash fr. Used to get good grades, then I came here ( thanks for lowering my chances at going to a good college Washington high) The teaching style is super old fashion and teachers don't do much to engage students to actually make them excited about school. Its pretty much just " Everything is this class is busy-work, but, here's a review, study it and I'm gonna quiz you on something that wasn't even on the test review" Plus the lunch is horrible 75% of the time.

Only been inside the library for HOA meetings, but seems like a nice, clean, well-built, large high school.
Way better than my highschool... in the 80's! 😜

I am a attendant at WHS and it is a very marvellous school to go to. Of course some teachers do not care about the students, but other than that it is a great facility. I highly recommend going here instead of going to any other schools because it has a high graduate rate. It is also open for scholarships in the area or surrounding areas. The counselors are nice and will help with any needs or any concerns you or your child might have. They offer basketball, volleyball, tennis, and many more sports. They are the 5th best school in West Virginia (which is surprising for the Eastern panhandle in my opinion). They offer clubs such as FFA, SGA, FFCLA, SAGA, and many more.

Went back to visit..where husband coached
Kids were glad to see coach Berry
