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 Gadsden High School is a very bad school, but it has character. Too much is attention is given to athletics rather than education. However, WG has a very friendly and welcoming environment. The first year I came out here I was treated as if I went to school with the student since pre-school. The administration, besides the principal, is great and they almost treat you like family.

I got put in ISS for being literally only 2 steps away from the door when the bell rang. I also had a pass but the teacher denied it. So, I was escorted to the ISS room and had it explained to me that I cannot attend any class until 24 hours was up. Meaning, the next day, I had to sit through ISS all day and miss all my classes and school work. Now an ISS is on my record because a teacher wouldn't listen to me when I explained I had a pass for being late by 2 seconds.
