I love Manchester West! These past four years I have built so many lasting connections with peers and teachers. There are so many extra curricular ranging from sports to clubs!

Many students don't like to participate in fun activities or spirit weeks. It makes it a little boring to be there.

I had a pretty good experience at West, one negative thing I have to say is about the communication. As a student I was never told anything, I never had any of the information I needed, and when I would ask a teacher I could tell the teachers had to deal with the same thing as I would ask multiple teachers the same questions and get multiple different answers for a question that should only have one. For a positive, I do love the diversity and how inclusive the school is. I felt very welcome and included in this school.
