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.

My experience at Western Hills High School was really good, and I think it was because of a few different reasons. Firstly, I had some amazing teachers who were really supportive and helped me to do well in my classes. I also made some great friends who shared my interests, and I got involved in things like sports and music which helped me to develop new skills. But most of all, I loved the culture and community at the school - it was really welcoming and inclusive, and I always felt like I could be myself there. Overall, I'm really grateful for my time at Western Hill High School, and I think it had a big impact on who I am today.

In my 4 years at Western Hills University High School (9-12), the experience was horrible. I've never experienced a school as bad as this. The students are wild, and the staff make no effort of trying to change them. I do not take pride in the fact that I attended and graduated from this school.
