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.

Not a bad high school overall. Definitely could use some work, as teachers and administration do play favorites. Definitely isn't given as much resources as Armstrong High School.

West Shamokin Junior Senior High school is one of two high schools within the Armstrong School District, it's for sure the forgotten child of the district.

I think this school is safe! Security guards walk around during the day make me feel safe.
