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.

The school is not very good when it comes to Academics. The majority of the population is just skating by doing the minimum required to graduate. Not sure how the "smarter" kids get attention as with most larger schools the "average " students require most of the educators time.

I feel that West Seneca West had a lot to offer for our high school education. The teachers and counselors really cared about how we did in their classes and did as much as possible to help us succeed. West also offered a lot of interesting clubs, sports options, and after school activities. I made a lot of great friends that I will have for life. I really enjoyed my time at West.
