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.

CB West is a very good school with their teachers and staff but I have never really found myself a part of the culture. Spirit weeks and pep rally's are not often or not participated in.

Central Bucks West is a great high school, I've been there the full time which is really a first for me since I've moved around a lot, the school has undergone some great rework and upgrades, making it a much safer and educational school. Although the facilities are not top of the line, they get the job done and the teachers make the most of everything they have around them making classes a lot more fun.

CB School District has become a nightmare. The new board is using the district as a political tool to push far right extremism on teachers, students, and parents. This has never been a district that necessarily embraced diversity, but my kids used to feel safe enough because CBSD encouraged the idea...
