Need more change within clubs, but over all good school for academics (a lot of good courses), and good teachers and staff who want you to succeed, and give advice on what you want in life. Great student life, and memorable campus.

As a student at Joliet west I think that there is sometimes where the environment is toxic and unwelcoming. The food also can be a bit underwhelming but they have gotton better as I've gone through school there.

This school would rather make political statements that only support democratic ideology. Having student leave classes so they can go protest in the streets is not what our schools should be promoting let alone condoning. Absolutely sickening to use these children as political puppets.

Half of the teachers are amazing and the others are horrible and don’t want to help students. I graduated in 2020 and the only good thing about this school is the diversity in students so you have a good chance of making at least one really good friend. Fights are normal, drugs are normal. Even if t...
