West Prairie High School, also known as Sciota West Prairie, is a public four-year high school located at 18575 East 800th Street near Sciota, Illinois, a village of McDonough County, Illinois, in the Midwestern United States.

[2][3] The campus is located just south of Sciota, 10 miles northwest of Macomb, and serves a mixed village and rural residential community.

The lawsuit brought by First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to defending religious freedom for all.

[3] It formed a cooperative agreement in 2009–2011 with nearby Macomb High School for boys' swimming and diving, and with Avon and Bushnell-Prairie City high schools for boys' and girls' track and field.

In 2016, the West Prairie High School volleyball team won the state championship game at Redbird Arena[11] in Normal, Illinois.

The State of Illinois' consolidation movement of the late 1940s caught up to the towns of northwest McDonough County.

A new building was built in Good Hope, allowing for the closing of the Blandinsville school.

The southwest corner of the gymnasium has begun to warp and buckle due to water damage.

There are still a few desks, chairs, and tables in the basement in what is left of the old boys' locker room (partially destroyed when the plans for renovating the school were still in play).

The first graduating class from Colchester High School received their diplomas in 1891, or possibly 1892.

Enrollments in the 200 to 250 range were the norm for the late 1950s and 1960s, with Colchester High School's largest graduating class occurring in 1961.

The Good Hope High School joined a consolidation effort of several small towns, including its neighbors to the west, Sciota and Blandinsville, in 1959.

[16] In the late 1950s the towns of Blandinsville, Good Hope, and Sciota undertook a consolidation effort regarding the education of their children.

The Northwestern School District served the three communities and kids from farms in the surrounding area for about 44 years.

In 2003 the neighboring town of Colchester agreed to join forces with the Northwestern School District.

The students of Tennessee now attend West Prairie High School in Sciota.
