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.

Overall my time here has been amazing. All Highschool students have ups and downs but O would so for the most part mine haven't been to bad. I will miss the culture at West Side as I go into college.

West Lafayette is excellent in terms of educational quality, but the current school administration has been clamping down more and more on student freedoms. This factor, combined with their meddling in the school schedule, lowers my rating marginally.

Engaged in teaching and informed staff with a focus on what is best for students. Promoting cultural awareness and supporting all students to be there best and reach goals. This is a school that wants to see all of the students suceed.
