West Lafayette Junior-Senior High School (also informally known as West Side High School or simply West Side[2][3][4]) is the only high school within the West Lafayette city limits, and is administered by the West Lafayette Community School Corporation.
West Lafayette Junior-Senior High School was constructed in 1939 of cream brick and glass at a cost of $225,000, and was remodeled in the late 1990s. The school is located near Purdue University, and the children of many Purdue faculty and staff attend West Side.[2][3] In 2012, the school was ranked as the 2nd and 4th best public high school in Indiana by U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek, respectively.[5][6] As of 2021, the high school was ranked in U.S. News & World Report as 2nd in Indiana and 239th nationwide.[7]
