We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Western High is a small school, it houses grades k-12 in one building. Small student population, small student-teacher ratio. Western is in a severely poverty-stricken area with limited job opportunities.

The school facilities are very nice. We have a very nice school, with plenty of computer labs and a bunch of technology. We have many college prep classes. I am actually enrolled in a college algebra class getting college credit.
