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.

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.

It's a great school that fosters leadership and collaboration with your peers. Most of the teacher's are professional, with exceptions. I think there needs to be more disciplinary action when teacher's step out of line, however, since some of them seem to get away with mistreating their students simply due to their seniority and intelligence.

Smithtown High School West provided a great high school experience. West's music and arts programs are encouraged by all faculty and allowed for great opportunities. School spirit is a huge part of West from Friday Night Football Games to club events/fundraisers. West allows students to not only exceed in academics but also gives them chances to better the community around them.

This school used to be good, but not anymore. Academically, the teachers dont do a goodjob of preparing the students for college. Socially, there is a major drug issue that is swept under the rug..
