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.

I'm an alumna of West Elementary School, having attended the school back in 2008-09. My experiences there have been positive overall. It's by no means a perfect school, but, the teachers there were competent. I'm sure it has gotten better since!

Just Horrible. Mr. Nelson was very, very good. And he only lasted half a year there.What does that tell you? Just horrible administration, brutal, especially from the top. You know what they say, it starts at the top!!

Would be a lot happier if the principal was more compassionate and acted like she cared at all. She just seems to be more interested in her authority!
