First opened for enrollment in 1959, the athletic mascot of West Leyden High School was originally the Knights until 1981. At this time, the East and West Leyden High School athletic programs merged to create an athletic team currently known as the Eagles. Together with East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Illinois, it comprises Leyden High School District 212 of the suburban communities in Franklin Park, Northlake, Rosemont, Schiller Park, River Grove, Melrose Park and unincorporated Leyden Township. AcademicsWest Leyden's class of 2008 had a below average composite ACT score of points below the state average.[4] West Leyden did not make Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievements Examination, which with the ACT comprises the state assessments used to fulfill the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Overall, the school did not achieve AYP in reading or mathematics, while two of its three student subgroups failed to meet expectations in mathematics.[4] Student lifeAthletics{{see also|East Leyden High School#Athletics}}Since 1981, West Leyden and East Leyden have a combined athletics program. Prior to the schools unifying into a single program, West Leyden's teams were stylized as the Knights, and the school colors were blue and gold.[8] While East Leyden's team nickname of "Eagles" was retained for the combined program, West Leyden's colors became the colors for the unified program. As a separate team, the only team to finish in the top four of their respective Illinois High School Association (IHSA) was the 1968—69 wrestling team.[9] In 2014, 15-year-old student Brody Roybal won the gold medal with the American team in the 2014 Winter Paralympics. He acquired a gold medal again at the 2018 Winter Paralympics, this time as a 19-year-old. ActivitiesSchool Activities Include: {{col-begin}}{{col-2}}
