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 teachers were the best part. All of the teachers I had were always so invested in making sure we succeeded and always willing to offer extra help if needed. The teachers were also all very accepting of everyone. The other faculty members were also always very kind. Although the students weren't always the kindest, that's kind of to be expected.

I enjoyed the opportunities that this high school had to offer. It prepared me for most real world issues, however I think that another financial class could have helped. A class to maybe teach us about mortage, and how to prepare for our retirement, and good money saving options.

West Bend West High School was a very good example of a very poor high school. My two daughters attended and received mediocre grades at best. We recently moved to Brookfield, WI, and now they attend Brookfield East High School. The difference in the teachers were night and day. The teachers at West...
