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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

At WFHS most if not all of the faculty are there to help you and are very nice. I love the fine arts department, personally I play the flute and have done so for the past 7 years. The band wing, orchestra, theater and more are all amazing and full of amazing people. It's very easy to learn as well, as the teachers are very good at explaining material. The worst part of my experiences stem mostly from rules and how strict it can be some times. The one they enforce the hardest is the phone rule, you can't use it during class what so ever, even if you are done with your work or have nothing going on in class. But overall I think it's a good school. I would like to see a change in atmosphere, maybe have more options to let students get help they need in school or even out of school.

My overall experience with West Fargo High School was very good. Majority of the teachers are very positive, even within class I failed, they seemed always ready and available to help. The students that went there were sociable and I never had a hard time trying to find a place to fit in, all the pieces fell into place.

West Fargo High is a very welcoming school that is one of the best in the west Fargo district. The teachers and staff are nothing but kind and are willing to assist you with anything. Most of the teachers create an healthy learning environment that puts students on a path of success. One drawback is the wacky schedules the school may implement. The schedules can get pretty confusing for both students and teachers. Despite that, the West Fargo High is a wonderful school and it continues to live up to that.
This school is not engaging with their students. My child was a special ed student here. High functioning autism. There was a bullying incident that occurred here that was swept under the rug and not resolved. This caused my child to become severely depressed. Very long story short, due to this inci...
