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 been a student here for all of high school, and have enjoyed my time here. The teachers are very helpful, they want to get to know you and help you succeed. It can be a bit crowded during class change, but as long as you aren't glued to your phone you will do fine. The food options aren't amazing, but they could certainly be worse.

West Forsyth High School is a great place for students who wants to work harder to achieve their dream. Majority of teachers are very supportive. I participated in a lot of clubs and it was a wonderful time. I don't do any sports but I do know that our school is not the worst in the state.

My overall experience at west has been good. Most of the teachers are really nice and care about your well-being. There had been a few gun threats but none had actually happened and was taken care of quickly. The buildings are also pretty old and musty as well.

New principal does not share academic values that the prior administration did, and is driving athletics only, which is appropriate given this individual's prior experience in a rural county and as a gym teacher/coach. Ultimately, a school's academic reach reflects the academic strength of the princ...

Have had three children graduate from West and it was always been a great experience for all of them.

If you fall behind in a class, don’t expect the teachers to care or help you. Too many cliques and drama. If you’re shy then good luck because many teachers there grade the popular students better or heavily count class participation. Some of the teachers cared too much to be liked by the ‘cool’ kid...
