Washougal High School

The only good thing about this school is Kid Emmy

Moved and so glad my son is going to high school here, he is getting much more support thank his last school.

This school has been a blessing for my daughter. The teachers and staff are wonderful and caring. She is college bound and I have experienced a special focus for the students succeed.

Just read the reviews. A lot of the same themes. This school seems to have a disconnect with its students and teachers. The ap classes are never taught complete. How is a student expected to pass an ap exam if the teacher doesn't finish with the course curriculum. Oh, I know, they don't pass. In fact, many ap classes only have a few taking the test. And what's predictable and depressing is that most don't pass the ap test. Some classes most don't even take the test for the college credit . This school is in my opinion should be closed and let these student go to camas. One also will find that ap classes are taught so frantically in some instances that no student could ever follow what the teacher is teaching. Don't believe these issues are real. Check the stats of passing ap course exams at washougal and other schools. Other schools actually have student who pass the ap test. Washougal has very few. And if you check you will find that these problems have been in existence for many years. Wake up washougal. We need active changes and people to speak up! Expect better. And oh by the way.......... Not finishing classes by the end of the year is common in many classes, not just ap.

I'm frustrated by the lack of focus on college-bound students. The administration seems complacent with poorly taught AP classes, and with a lack of rigorous course offerings such as statistics. Moreover, the school administration has provided the absolute minimum guidance regarding ACT/SAT preparation, college selection, and scholarship application. The culture seems to be more about graduation rates than encouraging kids to excel academically.
