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.

Overall the school is well rounded with many advancement opportunities, from a wood shop, auto shop, 2 Engineering rooms, arts programs, and various languages. The school features a variety of sports and a large number of AP courses. However, it needs some updating and help in the administrative section. 90% of the teachers care and take an extra step for their students. However, there are a few bad apples in the bunch.

I graduated from West in 2008. I had SOME amazing teachers, others truly should not have been attempting to teach. College prep was a joke. There were so many fights, gang issues, and teen pregnancies it made it feel like an alternative school! West, and other davenport high schools are way behind....
