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.

West Union has no AP or advanced classes and is not fit for more advanced kids as a result. If a kid is more advanced, they will be bored in classes, like I was. I also personally feel as though the institution does not prepare kids for college as adequately as needed. There are also very few extracurriculars (like 5 clubs). I went here for 11 years (K-10) before switching schools.

West Union is a small school. This allows you to become close with faculty members and other students. It's very clean and safe. The faculty really cares about the students. I have very much enjoyed the last 12 years and am glad to have gone here. I feel ready for college.

I absolutely love my school. Over the past eleven years I have made great friends and lots of unforgettable memories. It might be a small knit community based school where everyone sticks their nose in your business, but there have been several opportunities for me to join new clubs and activities to make new friends. I would definitely choose to attend my high school all over again.
