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.

For me I was here at West Hight all 4 years I also had family that came to West as well. I would say it is good school for education and for sports but most importantly the environment is good too. The staff and People and very helpful especially for me right now because It's my senior year I have the best support system here at school. The thing that I would say that was the worst is some of the teachers that I had over the 4 years here at west but overall, everything was great. To be honest as of right now I have nothing that I would want to see change I think there can be improvement in more people joining clubs and sports.

My family has been going to West for four generations. I understand the West High Culture deeply and we have deep relationships with the school. West is the most diverse school in Utah and keeps the good and replaces the bad.
