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.

Western Plains High School is a small school that will make you college-ready. Everyone here knows everyone and there is little to no bullying. You can be involved in almost every club while also focusing on studies. Students will get a lot of one on one time with teachers.
