I've been in West Mesa for a year already and it's been amazing to have been enrolled here. The teachers are very nice and help you when it is needed. Although a percentage of students are involved with suspicious substances. (drugs, smoking of any kind) Overall, the education is amazing and the cooperation of parents, teachers, and students is truly astounding.

During my years at West Mesa High, I have learned quite a lot. All of this is due to my specific teachers really caring about my education and wanting me to be successful. Although the school area is not the best, I learned to adapt and make the best out of my 3 years there.

Theres a lot of things to like about West Mesa Highschool , I especially like the teachers because they push me to strive for more and create an enviorment where I enjoy learning. I think with a little improvment to security and maintnence it could be a 5 star school.
