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.

I have gone to West Central my whole life. I enjoy the close knit community; everyone cares about everyone. I would like to see us offer AP courses. We don't have any college preparedness courses like that. We do offer dual-credit classes which is good for our students. The teachers have to teach a wide range of students, those going straight into work to those college-bound. I appreciate their effort. Obviously there's teachers, classes, and people I don't like, but that's the case for any student anywhere. That's why I would consider my experience at West Central average.

This school doesn't provide any kind of bullying prevention. After many attempts at trying to gain their attention, and failing, I made the decision to leave. To this day, I have not once regretted my decision.
