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.

The best parts of my experience was my environment, sports, and the people. The worst parts were sometimes the work. I wouldn't want to see anything change.

Being a graduate of West Lowndes is something to hold dear to your heart. There were a lot of ups and downs to the school but overall it was a pretty good experience. The faculty are very encouraging and caring, the food was pretty nice, and the knowledge you received was very rewarding towards later obstacles in life. The school help build character and gave students different opportunities to help one another and learn more about themselves.
