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.

Westmont CUSD 201 sets its eyes on being number one and nothing else. The leadership accepts nothing less than excellence and provides passionate direction and resources to reach the goals of being the best in Illinois and the nation. The district uses data-proven recipes for success that other districts lack. Students are viewed as individuals and plans for their success are put in place until the goals are achieved. The teachers genuinely care about the students. This is evident through the positive relationships they have with the students and community.
