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.

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.

My experience at West Charlotte High School has been good throughout all 4 years of me being here. I've always had the best teachers and counselor to help me get through high school. This year they have plenty of resources for seniors that helps us apply to financial aid, scholarships, and colleges. These resources have helped me get into the best HBCU in Atlanta, Clark Atlanta University and i'm forever grateful for that.

Most of my teachers had given up on teaching. Not knowing anything better, I stayed there, didn't learn a thing, and...
