We have two children at this school. The teachers and staff have been great. Any question or issue has been addressed immediately and resolved. The school is great!

My daughter transferred into the West Aurora public school system in 8th grade from private school. When it came time for her to go to high school, we researched and compared West Aurora to other public schools and the local Catholic high school before deciding to send our daughter to West. West Aurora has by far the best and most extensive programming, both academically and extracurricular. There are career prep programs in a variety of paths including engineering, nursing, and automotive. There are a ton of different types of classes for any interest. There are numerous AP and dual-credit classes. At least 100 extracurricular programs for any interest a child may have. My daughter really enjoys the content of her classes and her teachers. She loves that there are so many clubs for her to join. There is also a lot of diversity which I think is great. When so many people are different from each other it allows the kids to be who they want to be without sticking out. My husband went to a very not diverse school and if you were unique in any way you were bullied. Diversity is also how the real world is, I am happy my daughter gets to know kids from all walks of life. She does find the size of the school to be overwhelming and I think that 7:35am is too early for school to start for teens. But other than that we have no complaints.

School offers honors and AP classes, I feel the college readiness score is not accurate at all for my experience.
