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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Western Dubuque High school was a great place for me to learn and grow. The environment was always welcoming and the community itself was very tightly knit. The school offered many opportunities for educational and athletic success.

my experience overall has been good. i've met some life long friends and have had many memories made going to athletic events. the worst part is the parking situation, all the construction going on and the no ac throughout the building.

I enjoyed my experience at Western Dubuque High School. I enjoyed participating in extracurricular activities such as Tennis, Basketball, Student Council, and FBLA. I had many good teachers who helped me with my education. My experience with the faculty was very good. Some thing I would change about the High School would be to update the building.
I attended western dubuque when i was in 4th grade until i was a freshman. The school is very nice and so are the teachers. I think if you move to an area where your kids have to attend this school dont be worried about anything it is an amazing place to learn!
