About West-MEC - Shadow Ridge High School

West-MEC – Shadow Ridge High School is a public career and technical education (CTE) program that takes place at Shadow Ridge High School in Surprise, Arizona. It works with West-MEC (Western Maricopa Education Center) and helps high school juniors and seniors from partner school districts like Dysart Unified School District. Students can spend part of their day at their home high school and part of it at West-MEC, where they do regular schoolwork and hands-on, career-focused training. West-MEC has programs in business, law enforcement, engineering, information technology. Most of the time, the class sizes are about average, which makes it easier to do projects, lab work, and lessons that are hands-on. West-MEC doesn't replace a student's main high school education; it adds to it. Because of this, math and reading test scores are usually not reported separately. Students take Arizona state tests and the SAT or ACT to get ready for college. West-MEC – Shadow Ridge High School is known for its strong career preparation model, partnerships with businesses, and focus on getting students ready for the workforce.
