I think positive changes are currently being made within the school system. I hope to continue to see it grow.

West High School is overall average. The staff tries there best to make sure everyone feels safe and is getting the best experience at the school as much as possible. The academics includes things that are unnecessary and could rather be spent on other resources or teachings that will help prepare for college a lot more. The sports and care for sports is biased and they really don't show the want for improvement for students or a push for students to get involved in those extra curricular activities.

I love how considerate and helpful the teachers and staff are. They are always there for me and constantly support me. I know that I always have someone that I can go to if I need help with anything, whether that be personal or education related.

If you get a class with a teacher for example like Mr. Young-Kent, Or Mr. Van Oort be very pleased. You can work as hard as you want and you either don't...

Last year was our first year with my son as a sophomore. I was not impressed by conferences last year. We will see about this year. My son is a junior and says he does not like it. I feel like there are issues with the climate, safety, and overall tone at this school. This is my perception at this t...
