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.

Small, safe school with a small student population. The teachers care about their students and the school community is very connected and caring. Good school but does not prepare you for University.

West Boylston High school is great in both sports and academics. The teachers are very supportive of the students. It is one of the best schools in Massachusetts ranking number 41, our football team has won the state championship in the last two years. The only part that I dont enjoy about my school is food and diversity. In the drama class, I am the only African American student and so in my class. The food in the cafeteria does not taste good at all. Sometimes I stay hungry and eat when I get home. Overall, I would choose the school for academic support.

My experience at West Boylston was one I will always remember. I enjoyed my classmates and teachers. The class size is very small and everyone knows everyone.
