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.

The best part is the opportunities we are given with NIACC and how we are able to get a head start on college. I feel that one of the worst parts were some of my experiences with sports. One change I would like to see if more respect from everyone within the school including students, teachers, administrators, etc.

West Fork High School is backed by a great community and has a lot of great people and teachers. However, it lacks in a few areas, such as its science program, clubs and organizations, diversity, and upkeeping some of the facilities.

I have had fun experiences only in our school's tiny music programs. I helped to make a tradition in the school band and it is recieving more attention, I also enjoy the music we play and sing and going to honor choirs. Other than these experiences I can not think of any others that had a good impact or were enjoyable. Almost all classes are very boring and there are very little hands-on classes. In a regular class you sit down for and hour and a half and listen to the teacher for the time being.
