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.

So the best parts of my school is probably the food its not that bad i enjoy it but the worst part of that school is that the counselors don't interact with the students as much as their suppose to.

Western International High School has horrible protocols when it come to racial incidents at the school as well as keeping drug use out of the school. I was called a slur by another student and when I put in a statement nothing happened; no consequences. I was told that I couldn't be informed on the situation because it was being reviewed and while that happened i was harassed by the aggressor. I never was addressed or got a formal apology . Even more disappointing when the school is supposed to protect ethic youth. The school is also not really in favor with the black student voices of the school.

I am a former student, who moved to Macomb and now attend Dakota High. Honestly, I would move back to Western in a heartbeat. The counselors are so much better, and the teachers are so involved. The best part is the diversity. The clicks are SO bad here. In Western, you have everyone with everyone....
