I have been at West Caldwell for almost 4 years. I've seen a lot of students and teachers come and go. The one thing that has never left is the school spirit, the entire student body and staff get hyped for fundraisers and sports even if we don't usually win any of our football games, or raise enough money to buy new equipment for the school. it's still nice to see that students and teachers are getting involved and participating in the school spirit. the only thing I will say is even though the school spirit from the teachers being involved is great. they are too laid back to actually get a class's attention to teach what they are supposed to be teaching they aren't taking their jobs seriously enough and it negatively affects the students who do want to learn aside from the constant celebrating and prepping for the game days or cool events held at the school. the college advisors also don't prepare us enough before our senior year, they do everything last minute.

West Caldwell does not excel in any particular area. I would like to see the school focus on academics and getting their students ready for not only college but their career and life after college as well. They do not put even half of what they put into sports into the arts programs, which are just as important to students. Students who are invested in band end up transferring to other schools that prioritize the arts just as much as the sports, just compare band sizes in the county and it is clear.

I loved the teachers they were very supportive and helpful. The principal is amazing he is super positive and active around the school. The food is good for high-school. I had the best times here and met a lot of good people here. Teachers are usually very good at fising a way to help you if you have an issue with the class or need extra help. Also join some clubs to be more active with the school it helps a lot to meet people and get around more.

Ever since the new school year, bullying has gotten much worse. Tobacco can be smelt through the school. Many teachers are actually picking on the students. I had one that said because I had a cell phone I should be able to afford school supplies. My cell phone was given to me as a gift from my gran...
