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.

In my opinion my experience has not been bad but also not great.What I like about (JC)Johnson County Westside High School is that most teachers are nice and know how to teach.What I would like to see change at Johnson County Westside High School is the behavior of each individual towards teachers and staff and the teaching process where the teachers actually teach and not hand out random work that will not improve our ACT Aspire scores.

The lack culture and diversity left many students of color feeling disrespected at westside, however the academics and extracurriculars were very good.
