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.

At Douglas County West High School everyone treats each other like family and is very friendly. Everyone is always welcome and it's a safe place to be.

Dc West has taught me so much and you truly get an education unlike anywhere else. They offer a multitude of higher level and metro classes that are both challenging and rewarding for students. The teachers are all so committed to helping their students become the best versions of themselves possible.
