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.

Growing up in West Wendover, NV, I was destined to go to West Wendover High School. I have had an amazing experience here at WWHS. I've been involved in sports constantly since my freshman year and I am apart of a few organizations that I am very fond of. The leadership in the school is awesome. They never fail to impress the school. Sports are a huge part of WWHS as it keeps students consistently passing and focused. The most favored sport is basketball, in which we won state this year in 2020. As a senior, West Wendover High School will hold a very special spot in my heart. WWHS is definitely a school not to miss out on !

The food here isn't very good and they reapet a certain food, which gets boring after a while. I don't consider the food being healthy.

WWJH/HS is in a isolated area 120 miles for any large city. It is hard to attract quality teachers to an area like this. I have taught at this school for 8 years and have seen good and bad admin and teachers come and go. The good thing abut this bad economy is that we are able to weed out the bad te...
