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 belive that West Feliciana High School is a good school. I do think that there is room for improvement though. By far the worst part of my 4 years here has been my curent math teacher. I cannot learn from her along with many other students in the class. With this being said, not ever teacher is this way. I would say that the ratio of good teachers is higher than bad teacher. Another thing that has made my experice a little poor is the admisnstration. I belive that our acedimic counsler does a poor job. I would like to see this change for the reamining classes to have a better experience applying for college and schollarships. With this being said I have good memories here too. I have had some exclent teachers that have helped me in more ways than I could imagine. I have also been able to do many things that I dont belive I would be able to do else where.

West Feliciana High School has been my home for education for the past four years and I must say it has been a lovely experience. Though we do not have the best and most advanced resources compared to some schools around us, we still maintain high scores and have even won #1 school district. Personally I have no complaints beyond our use of money to advance resources further for students and parents and to reach out in expanding our extracurricular and student involvement.

My overall experience attending West Feliciana High school has been a mix of bittersweet feelings. This small town-school has done an amazing job of creating a charming, traditional, and homely feel. I have made so many comforting friends in the time I've gone to school here. However, there have been times when my school has failed to employ the right teachers, coaches, etc. I have personally felt like some employees at the school should not be there.

We are new to the state and looked at numerous areas. We ended up at WFHS based on reviews and a visit and couldn't be happier so far. This school and community have welcomed us with open arms and southern hospitality. We came from a very friendly northern community, but it still took us a couple we...
