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.

Appleton West had amazing teachers when I attended it. The sports were not very great and almost every team didn't win much. The facilities were pretty good just old.

Teachers are nice and listen to students, its's east to form bonds with them. However, not all teachers are good, some have issues responding to emails, respecting students, and are not the best at teaching.
