WEST PLATTE HIGH SCHOOL

WEST PLATTE HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the WEST PLATTE CO. R-II school district, located in WESTON, MO with about 269 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, WEST PLATTE HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

As a small, community-focused institution, the school prides itself on fostering a supportive environment that prioritizes academic excellence, character development, and student engagement. The district emphasizes a "small-school" atmosphere, which allows for smaller class sizes and more personalized instruction, ensuring that students receive the individual attention necessary to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Beyond core academics, WEST PLATTE HIGH School offers a diverse array of extracurricular activities, including competitive athletics, fine arts programs, and various student organizations. These programs are designed to help students build leadership skills, teamwork, and school spirit.
