Many of the teachers create a heavily toxic environment. Regardless of the academics, the bad teachers would create even the best class rotten.

West High School is an outstanding school. West High gives you the opportunity to take free college classes and they help you greatly in becoming independent. West High School needs to improve on their cleanliness because you do often see cockroaches and trash in the halls.
