It's a good school, very big and provides a lot of opportunities, but is lacking in a few certain areas like really get kids excited and involved in learning
12/22/2023
West high school is pretty solid especially with it's recent additions however there has been an uptick in poor behavior over the last year.
6/28/2023
Attending West High School was overall a good experience. West High emphasizes the arts and there are lots of opportunities for students to find their niche interest within the school thanks to various clubs. Academically, students can choose to enroll in honors or regular classes, however there is quite a large achievement gap at the school. The math department could use some work.

Both my son and daughter attended this school. My daughter still is. The teachers are very accommodating and supportive to special needs and are doing their best to see my daughter thrives here despite her autism diagnosis. They communicate well (if maybe too much…lol). I am very satisfied with this...

Extremely terrible. I would gave given the school a 0 if that was an option. If you have children with special needs and you are a minority, stay away from this school!
