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.

One of the main reasons I remain at West Phoenix High School is that everyone gets along. There is rarely any problems and if there is they are quickly solved . I wouldn't change anything about West Phoenix because I chose they school since it isn't as crowded . My fear of going into high school was that I would be lost but I was wrong. The school gives you a map of the school and it is very useful the first day .
