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.

I liked how small of a school it is. As a student you feel comfortable. Teachers are closer to the students because the small classes allow more individual attention. I feel like the school sets you up for success as long as you are a student that cares.

What I love most about Western Beaver Highschool is that we are a very small school and community. We all know one another and it really is one big family. The classroom sizes are perfect for more one on one and our teachers, I cant say enough about how great they are. I really hope I get chosen for thia scholarship and help my parents out anyway I can.

My children have graduated from Western Beaver within the last few years and have been accepted and attend universities with rigorous programs.
