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.

My experience at Portsmouth West High School has been nothing short of great. They care about the students and our safety. Our principal takes his job seriously and is good at his job. The teachers and staff work together to get the best for the students. One thing I don't like is we don't get any free time. We work from bell to bell as a full-time student which is quit a bit of work for the day.

Portsmouth west High school was not the best it could be but it tried. It's located in a rural small town so there is not much to do. The school is surrounded by corn fields if you like farming thats the school for you.

The music and arts program is out of this world great! Music Theatre and Chorus is considered by many the best in the county.
