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.

I made many good memories and made many friends at West Blocton High school. I like how close everyone is, especially with the band. It feels like a 2nd family from home. I also like the support of the students and teachers when it comes to football, cheer, and band. What I would like to see change is a more diverse variety of classes, such as choir, art, and a foreign language class that is in person.

I feel the school does not prepare the children well for college. As a former student, I struggled adjusting to the actual study time that was involved in college. I can only remember taking books home to study a few times. The school needs better teachers, that better prepare for the children's fut...
