We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At West Branch High School I had very involved and dedicated teachers. I had many CCP classes to choose from to get me ready for college and I absolutely loved my guidance counselor. Whenever you needed anything you could go to her and she would help you in the best way she could. Overall, the faculty was very helpful and dedicated to helping the students if they could.

I liked that west branch high school was really into our farming culture. Having a drive your own tractor to school day was really exciting, especially for a bunch of farm kids. One thing I would like to see change is the diversity in the school. Also for the school to focus more on academics than they do sports.
