9/7/2024
The school itself is really good but sometimes there aren't standards being met that should be getting met.
5/12/2024
I have enjoyed my experience at West Anchorage High School so far. There are many higher level class opportunities as many AP and IB courses are offered. The IB diploma program also provides students with opportunities to pursue education at top universities after high school. Some of the teaching and counseling staff are unfriendly and I have had several bad encounters with the tech. workers at our school.

West is a beautiful community with lots of programs that I have been able to thrive and accelerate in. I have amazing teachers and a supportive group of councilors. In my opinion West is the best school in Alaska.

It has the only IB program, the only Highly Gifted program, and some of the best sports teams in the state. It has so many opportuni...

From my experience, the staff are all very helpful and attentive, and are willing to challenge their students. Also a large variety of sports and clubs (some of which were student created) to join.
