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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

West Marshall High school has been a great experience. I loved having each and every teacher as each had their own style of bringing precious info into the classroom for everyone to learn. The best part was that regardless of grade, every teacher would be willing to help a student out on whatever they needed help.

Something that I loved about the West Marshall community is how adaptable the teachers are to the students who are involved in numerous activities. I have connections with my classmates that will last a lifetime and with my school, I know who everyone is. One thing that I would change is how the school spirit has gradually gone down and how there is little to none these days. During pep assemblies, the gym is quiet because students do not seem to care about pride anymore.

I like how involved the teachers are at West Marshall. They really care about how their students are doing, and they always make sure to help a student in need.
