The academics are very good, especially compared to other high schools in the area. Most students are accepting, and eager to learn, however the "Catholic" aspect is not very prevalent. Many students do not honor their faith, and are not kind. The sports environment is overfunded and overrated. However, I do feel prepared for college so far, thanks to the staff here.

Great people and teachers were above average. Good athletic program lots of variety and everyone is able to get a roll. Pretty good extra curricular and service opportunities.

West Catholic is Amazing, for me the teachers are the best , almost every single one of them is nice and supportive and they have a good amount of teachers for the amount of students ( a few students about 350/400). Which means that I can talk to the teachers easily

I wasn't raised Catholic. I attended public school. I am not from Grand Rapids and we don't live on the westside. We tried to get to know the local public high school and they reacted in disbelief that we might have questions and might want to meet a teacher or two. Then we called West Catholic. Wha...
