I'm a senior at Bellevue West and its honestly been an overall great experience here. The teachers and other staff are amazing, super easy to talk to and easy to get along with; the food is actually pretty decent for school food plus they are always trying new things so you wont get too bored with the same options; and the variety in the schools sport/clubs is stellar, there's something for everybody here.

I have been going to Bellevue West for almost 2 years, and my sister went for 4 years before I was in middle school and I was very involved in the band with her time there. I am currently in the marching band at West, and I can confidently say that it will be the best 4 years of my life. West is like any other normal school, with teachers, classes, and students like every other place. But the marching band is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. Every single rehearsal, competition, and section hangout that happens through band always puts a smile on my face no matter what. The program is incredible, with amazing directors, staff, and students. It has shaped me into the person I am today, and I don't know what I would do without it.

This school has a huge problem with bullying and drama. The Staff does nothing about it as they only care about the students who play sports, and pay little attention to anyone else. Probably the reason why many kids end up transferring to east. My kids no longer attend this school.

Favouritism goes hard here. They care more about their sports and money than they do your feelings. There is always poop on the bathroom walls.
