(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My Daughter goes to this school. It is a good school. It is over crowed. Would be nice if the had smaller classes. The building needs lots of work. My daughter told me the roof in one class room was leaking. They had to move there desks away. Over all a good school.

- It's a pity the school is too large...or make the classrooms somewhat smaller. I've lived overseas many years, and each time our kids come back to the US, it's adjusting to the class-sizes...reports reveal that smaller classes bring up the grades/test scores in kids...also, they're much happier and perform better in smaller classes. Something Fairfax Cty has to work on...Overall, WSHS is a great school!

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school has overall has good teachers with a few exceptions. It's textbooks and supplies are satisfactory, but the overall cleanliness of the hallways are unsatisfactory. The fact that students are allowed to eat outside of the cafeteria is one of my favorite parts of the school.
