The best part was that the teachers were always willing to help when a student needed help or they saw them struggling. The worst part was having to do the last two years online and some teachers would not preperly teach during that time.

great staff, always have kids in their best interest and offer many AP classes, and after-school programs.

I have been given many opportunities at West Leyden and I am very grateful for the doors that they have opened up for me.

They make sure everyone feels a part of a family and will always be supported in the decisions they make or want to make.

This is a school that does not work towards the betterment of students. Most teachers are not there because they care about helping students, they're there for the large salary. As an alum, I could see that if a student was not "smart" they wouldn't even bother with them. My brother was not the brig...
