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.

It was ok, but I am glad that it is over. I would never go back here and do this again. High school was extremely stressful, and not a good experience for me.

My whole experience with West Bladen High school some things there needs to be changed but the overall of it it is good. The guidance there trying to get you in college is alright its the the best thing but it gets you through. When I first got there it was a difference experience then from my middle school. I met a whole bunch of friends through out my High School years. There are all kinds of clubs I do a club called PGC its a leadership club where we help out freshmen out with there grades and there mental health.

Not a great school. Some of the teachers are just incapable of connecting with the students. Requiring school uniforms for whatever reason is insanity, since some parents just don't have the money for these expenses. The better alternative would have been...only plain clothes - no logos, no labels,...
