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.

West County is a public high school with a higher grading scale. It forces studies to study harder to accomplish their goals. The high grading scales have made me strive more in school. There is little to no diversity though and frequent fights. We are three months into the school year and there have roughly been six fights. These fights occur because it is a moderately small school so drama happens frequently. The teachers are really kind and you can talk to them about almost anything. These considerate teachers have helped me get through some of my toughest times and allowed me to find positives in any negative situation.

It is an incredible school and very dear to my heart. My best memories are made in art and choir. The bad thing is they don't give enough attention to fine arts as they do to sports.

I loved the teachers and staff. Everyone is so helpful and the teachers actually care if their students are learning or not.
