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.

Pewamo Westphalia Junior/Senior High School does a great job at holding their students to a high standard and raising kids to be responsible and respectful. The teachers also are very knowledgable and eager to build a connection with their students. The location of the school is the cause for most of it's downfalls, it is hard to get more funding for more clubs and activities when the school is small and located in the middle of a field.

I like that Pewamo-Westphalia High School is a fairly small school. I think that this allows everyone to be closer with your classmate and also allows the students to be closer to their students. Pewamo-Westphalia's academics are always strong and their sports are phenomenal.

Poor. The direction of this school is to produce top notch students and if you are not one of the excelling kids you will be left behind.

I attended this school and may be a bit biased but this is the best school in the area. Not only is it a top 500 school in America in terms of Education, but also it is very well known for its sports. I have had multiple job interviews that see that I have attended Pewamo-Westphalia and they love it...
