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.

Great small town High School. I enjoyed my time I participated in football, basketball, theater, and band. Teacher care about the students and it was a great 4 years.

My experience at West Side High School has been pretty great. I had a lot of my teachers that were willing to stay after or come in early to help me get my homework done. They were patient with me even though I had lots of question that I needed to understand. They had ACT practice in the morning the whole two weeks before we took our tests. Yes, we have a ton of homework that we have to do some nights. That is the whole point of going to school and getting and education. They encourage you to do your best and to not let anybody stop you.

Great environment with no bullies (that I knew of) and very little instances of drug use. I knew, liked, and felt liked by pretty much all of the students there. The teachers genuinely cared about students. The school played a significant role in leading the state to put college distant learning pro...
