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 West.St John was an experience to say the least. I lost myself, found myself , met lifetime friends & even lost some. My senior year was my best memory. From prom to senior week to graduation day. We all got dressed up. We took lots of pictures and made lots of memories. The long night outside of having fun, was definitely one of my favorite high school memories. I wouldn't say I had a worst experiences , but I had growing and learning experiences. If you know West St. John you know it's small & family oriented. Being there sometimes I felt like a outsider.. like I didn't belong , and the people that attended WSJ didn't make it no better at times. I gained great life lessons and better understanding of things. I'm thankful and appreciative of my time there & wouldn't trade it for the world. A change that I'll like to see at WSJ is them being more open and open minded when it come to people not being from around there.

Just needs to have a bit change and new resources to help build up the school more. And maybe new classes to help with college readiness.
