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.

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 love to score it higher. I feel that the administration will work with you if you have a fire for your child. I think the teachers are working to help my children as best as they can. What lacks is having enough teachers to provide the classes that children want to take. I do not believe tha...

I wish that I could give this school a higher rating because the teaching staff is incredible and I really like the wide range of classes that the students can take. If not for the administration of West Ottawa High School, I would have given the school a higher rating. The administration shows more...
