This School’s Reviews

3.0

7/12/2025

It's an okay school. A lot of drug and alcohol users there. Teachers are nice but most didn't care and passed you even if you shouldn't have. School schedule was good and food was good. Bathrooms are absolutely disgusting.

4.0 Senior

Western Alamance is an excellent school with excellent teachers and staff. Many of the teachers are passionate about teaching and engaging with their students.

Western Alamance is a very average highschool. The buildings are on the older side and class sizes tend to hover around 30. Almost all of the sports teams are sub-par with one or two d1 athletes coming out of the school every year.

As a parent, I do not believe this school values the well being of the children’s minds. They are taught to disobey their parents while ppl in the front office, named Crystal, said her last name one of the three, but she wasn’t telling me. Which shows they are hiding behind their actions. It’s very...

10 years ago - a very good school. Parents would relocate to western Alamance County so their children could attend WAHS. Sadly, over the past 5 years or so, the school has lost its way.
