3/17/2025
West Seattle was a place I was able to grow and evolve within my academics and learn to work independently and get what I need. I will say it's important to be motivated to thrive within this school, but if you look for help for the most part you will be able to find it.
12/17/2024
More classes and teachers would be great, school is crowded, but there isn't much more physical space available. Decent high school though, positive atmosphere and sports are generally fun and inclusive. Some good teachers some bad.
12/6/2024
West Seattle Highschool is a well rounded place with certain helpful teachers who help out and understand students but the school lacks diversity. I would like to see more school spirit, more funding towards girls sports and actually take input from student voices.

This school was not a good experience for me. I didn’t feel welcome as a religious person, I’m a Muslim and pray 5 times a day and it was very hard praying at school .I also didn’t feel comfortable of this environment learning was very poor and stressing and there were a lot of drugs in the bathroom...

Outstanding. My closest relative graduated four years ago, to gain acceptance to Mount Holyoke then Columbia University. Her teachers were exceedingly supportive of her every endeavor, and if it were not for the stellar education at West Seattle High School, she never would have made it to the Ivy L...
9/5/2019
Complete lack of resources, communication with parents, leadership, and subpar teaching staff.
6/15/2019
Positive overall. The school is not great in every category, but I would say the school is great in many places that count, and with some effort can improve the areas that need it. It is important to say that the indicated rating the school has slightly lower than it should be based on a faulty stat...
