Community is horrible and extremely white washed. Most Teachers are racist and homophobic. Admin favors some students over many and when it comes to someone being in trouble they will take there favorites side. The adults act like children there. It is nice that you can participate in everything and the food is great. But overall not worth it.

This school is very deceiving. Their website may look tantalizing, but it's all a scam. They subtly collect your money, it's ridiculous. The teachers are only there for their paychecks, as for the students, they are excluding and not welcoming AT ALL. This is supposed to be a "christian based school," but frankly, I don't see it. The toxicity in this enviroment is excruciatingly unbearable and I will not be recommending it to anyone.

In general, Faith West was okay. It gave me an excellent education. The only issue was the religious aspect. It seemed more like another category for the staff and classmates to judge you over. Though it displays itself as non-denominational, it seems to be angled more towards baptist beliefs. If a student stays there long enough, they will realize that the school itself is very sheltered and tame.

This school is an absolute nightmare! They are negligent, have high staff turn over, and extremely unorganized.

Over all a good experience for my child. He is in one of the top colleges now and is thriving. Which makes me think that the school did their job preparing him academically.

My over all experience for this school was very below average. There are very few teachers at this school that are qualified to teach and the good teachers have their hands tied because of the administration.

This school does a disservice academically to the next generation.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.The students are not on grade level and do not perform well on rigorous workload which is expected in college prep classes. This is a major complaint across the teachers there that is unspoken and overlooked by...
