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.

The teachers really got to know the students in a personal level. As we grew over the school years, the staff remained stable and were able to see our growth. They knew our parents pretty well, and overall they were a great staff.

The administration office in our school has a heavy presence. When you walk in the first thing you'll see is either the principal or one of the assistant principals standing ready to greet you. My school is very strict and almost every problem is handled by the administration itself rather than the teacher settling issues right on the spot.I say that the administration in my shool is okay because they sometimes put the integrity and prestige of the school before the well being of the student. If a student is struggling sometimes they're too quick to throw them out and not work with them. They also show favoritism to some students

My son loves West. He's asked to go to school on the weekend a few times (never happened at his old school). Principal Vroman is dynamic and a go getter--she listens to parents and follows through. She (or another administrator) often greets the kids at the entrance in the morning and plays upbeat p...
