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.

What i like about western is the overall experience of being your self while getting an okay education . Western is a school that everyone talks about in a negative way which is understandable . But, westerns environment is nice along with the realtionships amongst students and staff . This school year i will be happy to graduate as a warrior representing me and my local school/community.

Great staff that really cares about the students and want to see them succeed. There is a great program for students who are college ready to take dual credit classes at a college close to the school. There are other program that are great such as culinary and they have pre-med and pre-business classes to let you see if that is something you would like to go into.
