What I love most about Wes-Del Middle High School is it is a small school with big opportunities. It is more like a big family. The teachers and staff are very caring and want all the students to be successful. For the most part everyone gets along. They are always making the building and grounds updated. It is a very inviting and friendly atmosphere.

My child is currently a senior. I have watched her prosper over the years at this school. The teachers are amazing and extremely supportive. They have not only been her teachers but also her friends. They are amazing and have become like family. The school is always willing to go above and beyond for the sake of a child.

i used to go to wes-del and i can definitely say that it’s the worst school i’ve ever been to. kids would openly bully kids in the halls and teachers would just turn around and walk the other way. if you would report anything to the office (bullying or basically anything), they would say that they’r...
