At West Branch local school districts, I feel that we get a good education. Most of the teachers care about our education and they want us to succeed after high school. The things I dislike about our school is the fact that we get drug tested and can not have our phones out during study hall. Even though I do not do drugs I fell that the tests are totally an invasion of our privacy. I can understand not having phones in class but if we have finished everything then I don't see a problem with having them out.

I overall liked my experience at West Branch High School. The faculty is made up of all very kind and college-readying teachers who genuinely care about their students. I appreciate all the work the teachers did to help me get through my four years in high school.
