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 with West I'd have to say is one I'd made most of my memories that will last a lifetime. Most of my friends are those I've met through playing sports with them or some sort of outing West had to offer, as well as teachers i've had over the years that have helped me get to this point. My high school experience wasn't the most ideal for many circumstances but I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for the people I've met a long the way.

The teachers here truly care about their students. The IB Program is a huge help to the students and definitely prepare them for college. The administration takes the time to get to know many of the students and work to ensure that the students have the best education and experience.

West HIgh is the BEST school in the city. It has the most balanced and diverse population, a little bit of every group here. The teachers really care about the students and continue to seek ways to reach out to them. We are big enough to offer a variety of activities for students to be involved with...

Amazing school with great teachers and leadership. A small enough environment for individual learing, yet big enough for lots of learning opportunities. The new IB programme is off to great start! As parents we know we could have not picked a better learing environment for our child!
