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.

Best experience moment is knowing teachers give us a lot of time to do work especially essays. Worst experience is in the lunch line where it is so long with barely enough time to eat.

The administration does not have a proper focus on the students, more on politicts. I would not recommend this school to anyone

I loved that I knew everyone at Illini West High School because it was a small school. Everyone was friendly and it was easy to make friends there. We had caring teachers and staff, and a good atmosphere.
