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.

Western High School does not offer many classes. There are some friendly teachers that want to help you succeed, but overall most of the teachers do not care. The school does not prepare students for college.

Western High School's Administration has it's ups and downs. They can be very supportive, but not very consistent with their punishment, which to me is not a good quality to have.

The security has improved a lot over the years, but i think there should definitely be more cameras in the school to prevent bullying, stealing, etc.
