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.

West Genesee Senior High School is an incredible School. The teachers are always willing to help. The athletics department is amazing.

I had a pretty good experience at my high school. I didn't really struggle with classes, and teachers were willing to help after school if needed. But there was a huge lack of diversity and it caused racism issues during my time.

I generally enjoyed West Genesee. I believe that the school has extremely well trained staff that can help you learn anything and will prepare you for whatever you are going to do after High School.

The sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and bullying within the students is absolutely horrible. An "unpopular" student can't go a day without being called a slur or an offensive item. Students are also seen vaping in the halls and bathrooms.

WGHS is working hard on ensuring ALL children have a good education, but the administrators MUST start listening to students. There is bullying going on from not only students but teachers...
