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 like the personal connections with teachers and one on one help. I think that the difficulty level needs to go up, along with teaching us about diversity and racial injustice.

I would like to see more focus on education and less attention to sports. We may have a good football team, but the ACT scores get lower each year.

I loved the school spirit that Westby has and how it is just like a big family. All of the teachers are nice and the principal is fair to everyone. The principal knows everyone's names and was a great guy.
