Academic standards

In 1996, it became the only school in Greeley to offer the International Baccalaureate Program. In 1998, Greeley West offered a program called Extended Learning Opportunity, which pushed back the school's regular starting time 90 minutes to allow students who wished to come in earlier to participate in small study classes.

In 2000, principal Erik Fredell was named a principal of the year by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MetLife.

Athletics

Greeley West offers golf, football, volleyball, boys' and girls' soccer, boys' and girls' basketball, cheerleading, poms, baseball, softball, cross country, track and field, wrestling, boys' and girls' tennis, and boys' and girls' swimming.
