Very degrading, neglective, racist behavior, homophobic behavior, and very down putting towards people who don't play sports, I would like to see more equality for students and better education from this school

I have loved the faculty and staff at West End HIgh School. I would love to see the academic opportunities for the students increase. I feel like more options should be given to the students and if there is not enough funding for AP classes, students should be talked to and walked through the process of dual enrollment. If I would not have done dual enrollment my high school experience would have been one star.

West End has a relatively friendly environment and is small enough to ensure that you wont get lost in the crowd.
