Western is a great high school. Throughout my high school career i've learned so much academically and would 100% want many more future children to attend Western.

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.

4/11/2025

My overall experience has been good. I have definitely met a ton of new people since starting at this school in my junior year. There is always room for improvement but I love my school.

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...
