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.

West Lyon is the best high school in northwest Iowa. It has awesome academics with being one of the top schools in Iowa for test grades. West Lyon prepares students for the real world with loads of shop classes, a great business teacher, and many extra-curricular activities. the only thing I would change is to build a new school because the current building is getting pretty old.
