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.

However, the workload is unnecessary and many of the teachers are unpleasant to work with.

Western Tech is a very academically oriented school. The teachers, especially for AP classes, are very well-versed in their subjects and are dedicated to helping students grow.
