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.

My experience with West Forest has been good. Some people don't like small schools however I'm glad I don't go to a big school. I am able to talk to have a relationship with my teachers which makes the classroom less boring and I am able to ask them for help if needed.

I attended the school since I was a child and I do not miss it. The experience was not terrible, but I feel like there were not many opportunities for students to grow.
