Western High is not a good school compared to its rival Cypress Bay. Western has a poor administration staff who have short tempers and big mouths

The best part of Western Highschool is the variety of classes you can choose from and I loved how I was about to pick the ones I wanted and were the classes I wanted to learn, but some of the teachers are not as cool as the subject and the food is not that great, but I do like my classmates and also the worse part is how disgusting the bathrooms are and the environment because I do not feel clean whatsoever and I always feel like I have to wait to go to the bathroom at home.

My experience at Western High School was pretty good. My involvement in baseball program was very good. The teachers were very helpful for the most part. Sometimes administration help was challenging but overall I was able to get all the guidance I needed for my college process.

The new principal Padura took away activities students can do and turn down all fun ideas students present. This school is m...

I cannot speak for previous years, but currently, this school is up and coming. It is projected to grow, culture is getting better, cleaner, safer, and teachers are adapting to new technologies too.
