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 was homeschooled my whole life and then was thrown into highschool for a better education and I have never regretted it my first day in the school was rough but after finding a friend group and finding better classes I honestly think my experience could have been better while it was a huge culture shock going from barely socializing to being thrown into a 6a public school I loved it the teachers are engaging no matter who you are there are people with the same interest willing to accept you the school has a bad rep but if you distance yourself from the people who give it that reputation it becomes a great school

My time at Putnam city west was fun from the classes to the extra activities that we had. The worst part for me was the lack of discipline some students got but the best parts was making new friends. I would want to change how some classes are

I think Putnam City West High School could be a lot better. It's not great, but it's also not bad either, it just an average high school. The only major issue I had with it, It's that there isn't a lot to do there.

This school will NOT keep your child/children safe. When attacked and jumped by multiple students, my child was issued a 10 day suspension, handcuffed, and sent 13 miles away without my knowledge. Mind you, the kids that attacked her got THE SAME PUNISHMENT. My daughter did not know either of these...

Disappointing and uninspiring, students constantly struggle, stress and under perform due to the environment they are taught in.
