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.

My experience in West Ottawa High School was a great one, the staff made all of those class of 2024 feel welcome after months of lockdown and being online. After the years go on more opportunities opened up for me like wrestling where I am met many amazing people and learned many life lessons along the way, as well as HS Band, which introduced color guard to me, which I met a great coach and had many helpful teammates help me figure out color guard routines. Thanks to West Ottawa that I am proud to receive the grey cord and call myself a bilingual.

I would like to see the school have a later starting time. It is good because it starts close to Labor day. It has a lot of opportunities for students to be involved.

It's a great school with a lot to offer. They do many things well, but there's always room for improvement.
Great communication, prompt responses and faculty makes sure parents are aware of any concerns that they'd otherwise be unaware of. Especially appreciate how they handled a recent threat at the school to keep students safe and parents updated.
Money for coffee bars and TV's and no money for custodians to keep the buildings clean. That is the logic of the administration there. Get rid of them it'd be better!

What lacks is having enough teachers to provide the classes that children want to take. I do not believe tha...

If not for the administration of West Ottawa High School, I would have given the school a higher rating. The administration shows more...
