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.

West Morris Central is a great public high school that very well prepares its students. Issues are rooted in the school culture which is very stereotypically high school. It gives students a lot of opportunities and prepares students for the next step in life.

I have enjoyed learning at West Morris. West Morris has given me the opportunity to participate in community service projects and be a part of a tight-knit community.

My favorite part of my experience has been the academic rigor. I enjoy being able to choose the best fit classes for me, and my ability to take IB classes that challenge me as I prepare for my college education. I have countless resources and support from teachers, friends, and my guidance counselor. I strongly believe I would not have as great of a high school experience here if I were to go to a different high school.
