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.

One thing I like about High School West is that the school is pretty diverse and you can find a community in pretty much any corner of the school as long as you look for it. Academically, the teachers and guidance office are pretty helpful with school and give you help if you ask for it.
