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.

It's a small, quaint school. Everyone knows each other and gets along real well. The facility is nice and very welcoming. I enjoy my classes and the staff is very helpful and kind. There are numerous club activities available even though it is a fairy small school. I've always felt very safe at school. I wish there was a greater art program, but art class and one act are available and are certainly worth joining.

What I liked about George West is that gave you a small town experience. People would get to know a person and make that town seem like a big family. What needs to be change about George West is the atmosphere there needs to be more fun activities so more people can stay out of trouble.

I am a current high school student in George West. We learn very quickly and also learn advanced lessons. However, this school revolves around sports. Also, they punish students who don't need it. George West has very intelligent students but they need to set their priorities.

George West High School is full of hypocrites and liars. Plain and Simple. The principal and the "Campus Peace Officers" are the worst I've ever seen.
