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.

The school does have its facts but the faculty and administration try to rise above what it lacks to hopefully give students opportunities.

West Jordan is really diverse. There's a lot of different cultures there and West Jordan is really good at trying to celebrate all the different cultures so that's good. But sometimes it feels like the administration doesn't care. Like we there's an entire bathroom full of people smoking and doing drugs and they say they are trying to fix it but nothing ever happens to change it. But also most of the teachers are really nice so that's good too.

THIS IS THE GREATEST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD!!! Don't listen to the C+, they was just lyin'. Evveryone here is very smart and we get lots of good scores and do nice tests. If you ask me, this is the greatest school in America. Just the other day, our nations' president, Joe Biden, came by and gave us an award. Would highly reccommend.

I would never recommend west jordan high school to anybody. The teachers, the staff, the students, and the energy of that school is the worst I’ve seen in several schools I’ve been to. Valley being so looked down upon, Valley showed me why my standards were so low for other schools specifically West...

Extremely bad at organizing things. Doesn't understand students well. Recently took a chromebook in and they lied about me breaking the screen. (It was wear and tear) then said they'd replaced the screen but did more than that as my short cuts had gotten removed.

Great school with great resources to prepare students for life after high school (college courses, tech center integration, etc), effective faculty and programs, and a good variety of electives.

overall average. the sports don't include low income students and that isn't right. if a student works hard and wants to do it, they shouldn't be denied because of their parents income. otherwise I have no real issues with the school.
