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 has been a wonderful experience being able to attend Tulare Western High School. I have been part of the theatre department all 4 years which has allowed me to express myself in many ways and also show what our school can do. I have also been part of ASB and we always make sure to improve our school and keep everyone in spirit. That is what I like about Western and the staff here at this school, since they always provide the things we need and make sure to keep us safe at all times. There have been no bad parts of my experience at this school, other than the shelter in places that we've had, though that is not the schools fault. Out of all 3 schools in Tulare, I am so glad I got to attend Western.

Tulare Western High School is not a bad high school to attend. It is relatively safe, but not the most nice facilities.
