4.0 Senior

3/10/2026

The best part is that we all mostly know each other the senior class so it's good. We will all work together to get what we have to get done. Also the sports , I have a good time dancing I am on the dance team at west Jefferson. The worst parts is sometimes the attitude some of the administrators have and also just a lot of stress work on top of work but I'm getting through it.

3.0 Junior

1/9/2024

I believe that west Jefferson high-school could be a much better school, there isn't much opportunity outside of band and sports, and the school doesn't feel too safe with the amount of fights. The teachers however are a enjoyable experience, but the education could be much better

It's not a bad high school but the students and faculty lack the help of the district and school spirit.

I provided documents showing changes of grades to the school board and to the superintendent. Nothing happened. The business as usual. The students graduate at a...
