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 clovis west was a very interesting time, they have a lot of support for you if you are going through a rough time. They also have quite a selection of elective and different courses you can take there. They are even connected to other types of specialized classes that you can take such as Cart or CTE.

Over my four years at Clovis West high school, I would describe my overall experience to be good. I have been surrounded by a good support system, the majority of my teachers have been helpful and passionate about teaching, and I have access to resources most students do not. I am also fond of the extracurriculars offered at Clovis West, and recommend any and all new students to take advantage of the opportunities offered here and get involved.

I am most grateful to my counselor this summer. Most staff members would be on vacation and ignore their responsibilities until school was in session again but I had many questions and needed to be enrolled into a class to secure a spot in a program I needed for college and she made it happen. CW takes all precaution with security. During a false bomb threat the school went into lockdown and secure the whole premises with a full service of law enforcement until it was safe to release the students. Parents were informed on a timely manner and updated of the situation around the clock.

Clovis West High School is a very competitive school, but always rewards those who dedicate themselves instead of giving up. The teachers here are very characteristic. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, but is mostly a good thing. Athletics is not forced upon students, and in no way are students "di...

My child recently started at Clovis West. We are from another country originally and before Clovis West she attended a school in San Francisco for a few months. We are so impressed with Clovis West.
