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.

I liked how many clubs there are at West Mifflin High School. I didn't like a lot of factors of this school. At West Mifflin, they hardly did anything about bullying. They would shut down the bathrooms so we had only 3 bathrooms open for almost the entire school year last year. They did nothing for sexual assault during school hours.

West Mifflin School District has great elementary schools with some of the best teachers I have met! That being said, both the middle and high schools are a nightmare! Very disorganized lessons and curriculum. The teachers and staff at both schools behave more like students themselves than authority...
