Introduction

Overall academic success is the goal of the Master Principal. Ideally, students, staff, parents, and the community come together to create the best educational experience possible for all children. There are several accepted measures of successful schools and achievement. While West High School is a National School of Excellence and for the 2006 - 2007 school year can boast of 3 perfect ACT scores in the state of Wisconsin out of 11 and 31 National Merit Semi Finalist there is still much work to be done in the area of minority student achievement. There is still work to be done with our English Lanuguage Learners and Special Education populations. This section will not just show all the accolades of West High School "a National School of Excellence" but some of the areas we need to improve to address the needs of the diverse population of students we serve.
