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.

My experience with West Mecklenburg High school was fine. The school is highly diverse. It seems the teachers do the bare minimum, it gets the job done though.

My experience at West Mecklenburg was a fun experience Because of the culinary program and the teachers and students that made the days go by faster. I would like to see the administration communicate more and soar more for the students and not themselves, press the school pride more, be more engaging with students.
