Western Tech has an abundance of resources especially for health and environmental science magnets, because they are able to participate in animal dissections, labs with live animals, etc. It also prepares students well for college. However, the workload is unnecessary and many of the teachers are unpleasant to work with.

In terms of sports, our track, soccer, and basketball teams are among the best in the county. However, there is not much emphasis on schoolwide events like assemblies, which I would like to see changed.

Western Tech is a great school academically. Western is a magnet school. The courses are challenging, but not unbearably hard. I'm going there for Health Science and from what I heard, in 12th grade you get internships at local hospitals. Western is very small in size and cramped compared to other s...
