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.

What I like about West St Mary high school is that it is a small school which has many pros. In result of West St Mary being a small school, it is easier to have close relationships with each other. At a smaller school it is easier to become family. You have more opportunities to get tutoring access and extra help from teachers.
