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 school overall is not bad at all, even though the reputation is bad. There are very good teachers who are willing to help if you ask and there are some programs for kids that are smarter than standard class.

Western High School has a good education system. They know how to apply rules. The principal is very nice and friendly

Western High School has never stood out to me. I am zoned for this school, and I have the health science classes that are given there. Something that I like about Western is some teachers, there is specific teachers that actually care for your education. Something that I dislike about Western is the tardy policy, I think that this effects students because they may not even want to show up at all for their first class. I believe that students should get about 15 minutes after the late bell to get to class. the teachers do not think about the traffic or if parent have other children to drop off.

Say what you want about Western, but what that school lacks in budget and access, the teaches more than make up for in sheer heart and dedication. Unlike a lot of "higher end" schools, they seem far more interested in what the students are actually learning (both educationally and developmentally) r...
