Teachers cared about you there, more than Walla Walla high school does. But the school is for violence kids more than helping disabled or any other kids just trying to get away from WA-Hi. Recommend it, if your kid is having trouble in school

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Washington used End-of-Course (EOC) examinations to assess students in Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, and Biology. The EOC tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
