My experience at Mound Westonka has been great. Mound is a smaller school, which allows many opportunities that would not be available at larger schools. The student-to-teacher ratio is good, and the teachers give an aura of respect to each student. The sports here at Mound are very acceptable, and most students actually play one or more sports. If I had the choice to choose a school to attend, I would choose Mound every time.

Overall the teachers and staff are amazing. My educators worked hard to help me understand the material and got to know me on a personal level. I also played many sports throughout my time at Mound and the coaches and players are people I will remember for the rest of my life. The worst part of my experience were the students in my grade but it's the type of stuff that happens to every high school student.

I attended this school years ago. People here work hard to improve the entire district. The facilities are second to none. Referendums pass by a landslide every time. It gets better every day for every student.

We have had 2 children graduate from the Westonka School District; one in 2011 and now one in 2013. Without doing hardly any extra studying, our kids' average ACT scores were 32 and 33. What they learned in school prepared them for the tests. I appreciated that both Grandview Middle and MWHS didn't...
