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.

Best : Diversity, a sense of belonging and opportunities to discover their passions. Worst: Junior year is often considered the most challenging due to a heavy course load and the pressure of preparing for college.

Plano West is an extremely academically competitive school. West is also exceptionally strong in most academic extracurriculars: Computer Science, Debate, Jazz Band, and more. Though excelling in most academic extracurriculars, West has however been held back by Texas culture, favoring large spending and investments into a failing football team instead of pushing extracurriculars further or investing in equipment, food, and new opportunities.
