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.

Overall my experience at West Boylston High School was on the positive end of neutral, with it's ups and downs. The arts are incredible and have been a perfect outlet for self expression. Even though it is a small school, the people at the school and the staff that work there make up for it. I would like to see a difference in the overall lack of balance between sports and the arts, because at times it seems like the school favors the sports over them. Besides that I would not change a thing.

West Boylston Jr/Sr High school was a great fit for me. I'm grateful for my teachers and the education I received. I have no regrets about my K-12 experience.

do not send your children here if you care about their safety. administration consistently lets abusers get away with abuse even when it's recorded on camera. Fournier, in fact, invited my domestic abuser who was convicted in a court of law to graduate high school on the same day as me, although he was supposed to graduate a year prior. if something doesn't change very soon, I will be taking everything I have compiled to the news.
