📊 What Our Test Scores Say About Learning That Lasts

▪️ How do WHPS students measure up against peers at the nation’s most competitive schools?
▪️ What if the strongest results come not from drilling and prep—but from joy, curiosity, and real learning?
▪️ What happens when teaching isn’t “I show, you copy”—but a true partnership where teachers and students break down complex work together?

At WHPS, classrooms aren’t scripted. Teachers and students tackle challenges side by side, testing strategies and making meaning together. This builds thinkers, not just test-takers.

Because of this, our students don’t freeze up when they see something unfamiliar—even on a test. They know how to pause, problem-solve, and keep going.

And here’s the paradox: this approach produces results that significantly outpace independent school peers nationwide—including many of the most competitive programs in the country.
