As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

I am a former student of Millard West High School. I attended for three years and moved the summer before my senior year. While attending Millard West I never had any problems with staff or facilty. I had excellent teachers. I wouldn't change my experience there for anything. I am currently at a eastern Iowa high school. My current high school is very good but it isnt as clean as West, the art department doesn't have as much funding as Wests does, the teachers are good but West's are outstanding, both have great work out facilities and the lunches at West are way better than here in Iowa. West does an awesome job at giving several healthy options so you dont get stuck eating the same thing all the time and being an athelete it was easy to find good stuff to prepare me for practice. Maybe Im just bias but I think Millard West High School is the best of the three...now four...high schools in millard. GO WILDCATS! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
