I've only attended West Broward due to moving. Out of the 3 schools I've attended, I find myself doing best at this school due to my resources and the constant help & teacher response to issues that come up. I feel very prepared for college thanks to the support given by the school. Thankfully, none of this came at the cost of enjoying my school year. There's plenty of school events and some of the sports teams are very good and fun to watch. All while feeling safe due to the security team, locked gates, metal detectors, and rules which keep the school safe from threats.

My experience at West Broward High School has overall been a positive one. I entered the school in my sophomore year and was happy to see all of the clubs and programs offered. I found it to offer lots of opportunities to get involved and good academics. Most of the teachers are very caring and helpful.
