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 Salem High School is a small school in rural Wisconsin, but it has many opportunities. We are almost always voted the best school in the area, and we have more and more open enrolled students every year. We excel in our sports programs, music programs, and academics. The only thing I would like to see change is for West Salem to add more opportunities for academically advanced students. Overall, this is a great school to be involved in.

Overall West Salem high school is a great place to learn. There are many opportunities and programs available for all students attending. It is primarily a positive learning environment, but somethings aren't handled the way they should be. I would like to see changes and new faces in the administration that would benefit the student body.

West Salem High School has great teachers and even better school spirit! Students are quick to get involved with school activities as well as extra-curricular. West Salem is great for families and is picturesque suburbia.

West Salem is an amazing school. The teachers do a great job at helping you. Also, everyone here is friends. I see bullying, but it's becoming more rare. We have an amazing athletics department & everyone gets involved. The teachers make learning here fun. All in all the school is just great.
