GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have enjoyed my experience at Belleville West. I have been involved in many sports, including first year girls flag football. There are a wide variety of clubs to join.

Belleville West is a school full of spirit and community. While there is always things that can be done to improve the school, such as ways to minimize fights and altercations. I think West is an amazing school

Belleville West, where do I start? The academics are simply amazing and even though these are high schoolers, the staff still cares and communicates with parents! (I’ve been to schools where they didn’t). The extra curricular activities they offer are in abundance and truly something for everyone !...

Our daughter is a Sophmore at Belleville West and what I love most of all is the teachers. The teachers are reasonable with homework and their expectations of students is right on. The support offered to our daughter has been wonderful and communication is great. The online gradebook is a great way...
