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.

Best parts were when you found a good group of people you clicked with and homecoming. One of the worst things were some of my classmates but no one gets along with everyone.

West Lyon is the best high school in northwest Iowa. It has awesome academics with being one of the top schools in Iowa for test grades. West Lyon prepares students for the real world with loads of shop classes, a great business teacher, and many extra-curricular activities. the only thing I would change is to build a new school because the current building is getting pretty old.
