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.

I had an overall good experience at Westby High School. We had a very successful music program and our athletics were decent as well. Most of the teachers did their best to prepare their students for college or the workforce.

I enjoyed going to Westby High School. Westby has great music and sports programs. I think they could do more to prepare students for college.

My experience at Westby has overall been good. The classes are pretty small and close-knit and you get to know everyone. Kids here are also able to participate in many clubs, meaning that we are very well-rounded. Westby is especially known for its music program. The only problem that stands out to me is the fact that the building is pretty old (1960s) and in need of repairs. There are very nice athletic facilities, though.
