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 had a pretty good experience at West, one negative thing I have to say is about the communication. As a student I was never told anything, I never had any of the information I needed, and when I would ask a teacher I could tell the teachers had to deal with the same thing as I would ask multiple teachers the same questions and get multiple different answers for a question that should only have one. For a positive, I do love the diversity and how inclusive the school is. I felt very welcome and included in this school.

It has great teachers that are willing to work with you with whatever circumstances there happen to be. Great atmosphere as well!

Most of the people who go here are not motivated and can disrupt the learning experience, but as long as you stay focused and set goals, it's a good school. A lot of the staff care about the students and will stay for extra help if you are struggling with something.

I had a very bad experience here, the administration and teachers were totally apathetic and dispassionate. Violence and bullying were not taken seriously. It was a horrible school experience on the tail of a very positive elementary and middle school experience.
