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.

West Side School District has been a great learning environment for me over the past 12 years. I have made great friends here over the years and lasting relationships. Here I have easily complete all of the required classes and have been taking college credit while still enrolled in high school. The environment is great and the facilities are insane. The school is very supportive, and is overall a great experience.

As a senior from West Side I can say that it has given me many good years. I am glad that I had the opportunity to go here. I like that the teachers and students can be cool but also know when to be serious. There is not much that I would like to see change, I think it is a pretty nice little school district.

It is a very small school. This is not a bad thing. You get to know everyone in your high school and get to know every teacher and makes a wonderful high school experience.

It's been a great school for my kids. The educational quality is better than most larger schools and the teachers seem to really care. The teachers have dealt with a lot of stress and disappointment there over the years, but they have always kept their focus on the students.
