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.

Proviso West Highschool is filled with many opportunities. They provide a various amount of clubs, sports, and any other extra curricular activities. Within those 4 years, they help you find what you're looking for in life.

I like the high school, but it needs more work. The school is great, but it needs more people that work there to care about their jobs, other than just a quick paycheck. The school has Mutiple fights on a daily and the lines to get in the school is very long and most lose class time. The food there isnt good last year when I was a junior the beef had green glowing things on the meat someone also found maggots in the chicken

This is not a good school. Unfortunately I must say it’s the students. Their lack of care towards their education and environment leads to the teachers to care less and you can see it everyday. Don’t get me started on the drug problem.

Lunch lady's are rude when ordering food. The food was horrible by the way. Kids fight nonstop for fun some things can lead to death or serious injury. This is not a school. It's a prison

This is only a good school if you go in there with a positive attitude and enroll in all of the Honor/AP courses that are available. That is what I did and I made it to the top 10. Take ACT Prep and get involved. Other than that, stay out of trouble!
