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.

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.

I liked the teachers and friends I made there. They pushed me to be my ultimate best every single day and prepare for college. I miss the time I had there

The community at Smithtown High School West is unmatched. Students support each other, teachers encourage and empower students, and administration ensures a safe, inspiring place to learn.
