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.

My overall experience at West Lake Junior High was okay. I wish I would've done more things and been more involved while I attended the school because there were many open opportunities. I had the chance to meet more people, make new friends and memories, and be more involved. This school is unique because of it's diversity and emphasis on learning. It was also unique because we had enrichment which was if you had good grades you could go do something fun like go to the gym and hang out with friends or go to the auditorium and watch a movie and if you had to catch up in a class, you had to go to that class and do your work for about an hour. I believe enrichment was 4 days a week.

West Lake Jr. High School is a good school. They help you a lot with stuff u need help with. To be honest, its kind off a bad school though because there are a lot of fights there and they have food fights almost everyday on the last couple weeks of school. Other then that, its a good school.
