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.

West Springfield High school delivered a classic high school experience. The student government and student population was very good about promoting school spirit and coming together as one for the pride and honor of WSHS. The school had a great sports set up and phenomenal teachers.

It was a good school. And I will be a bit sad to graduate. But the school academic program is decent to say the least.

Overall, I've had a great experience at West Springfield High School. I've felt a close connection with my peers and teachers throughout my high school years, and I'm truly thankful that I had the opportunity to attend this high school. The only thing I would like to see change is the school lunch needs to be better quality.

I attended WSHS before and during its renovation, hence losing a star. The school is beautiful now, but had a lot of issues when I attended. I went to WSHS because of bullying issues at South County. The atmosphere at WSHS is very welcoming and pushes students, sometimes a bit much, to succeed. Near...

My experience is based on four sons who had different personalities and talents and their needs were met and more. One in foreign languages, one in music, one in history and one in drama. It might have helped that my wife and I were actively involved in school activities also.
