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.

I have had a pretty good time at my high school. They dealt with the Covid pandemic pretty well and have done many different things I have I liked. I wish however that we had more time for lunch, more class options, and better schedules.

The teachers and staff make the atmosphere in their classroom safe and inviting. During the pandemic, the district and school administration did the best they could to allow us to return to school.

I attended West for 2.5 years in the 1990s. It was a non-challengeing h.s. then, I don't even think they offered ap classes. Most kids went to community or religious colleges, schools that have a high acceptence of anyone. It seems now the school is a bit more academicly structured. This is a good t...
