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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I am not only an alum but also a parent of two students currently in the high school. I can not urge you enough to seek your child's education elsewhere. The amount of favoritism that is happening in West Platte is disgusting. This is an issue that is not only happening with the teachers but the administration as well. Another issue is bullying. The zero tolerance rules only apply to certain kids and reporting it does nothing. I truly feel bad for the handful of teachers there that actually care about the kids and education as they have been let down so many times by the joke that is the administration and school board.

West Platte is rich with resources and opportunity. The largest problem that the school has are its policies and their enforcement. For example, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students are not allowed to congregate in the halls nor anywhere else on school property. However, this rule is rarely enforced. Aside from this, the school is very good and attending has been one of the best experiences of my life.

The education is very good here. Due to it's smaller size, students get a lot of one on one with their teachers. The teachers know everyone personally and learn how they can cater to you as a student.

It also means students have the opportunity to participate in as many different activities as they wish.
