West Burlington High School is very well at pushing kids to strive to do their best. Most work is self-paced which makes a major difference. Most of the teachers want kids to do their best which means putting in an ample amount of time devoted to tutoring. One thing I would like to see change about West Burlington High School would be the amount of acceptance and diversity among students and teachers.

There are quite a few clubs at the school, but unfortunately, they are not funded very well. It is usually the teacher or 'leader' of the club who is forced to buy anything we may need. We do have a variety of sports and they are all funded fairly well.
