I have gone to West Central my whole life. I enjoy the close knit community; everyone cares about everyone. I would like to see us offer AP courses. We don't have any college preparedness courses like that. We do offer dual-credit classes which is good for our students. The teachers have to teach a wide range of students, those going straight into work to those college-bound. I appreciate their effort. Obviously there's teachers, classes, and people I don't like, but that's the case for any student anywhere. That's why I would consider my experience at West Central average.

I like the small community feel of the school. It is a small school which allows you to know most people at your school and in your community. I think one thing that West Central struggles with is college readiness. With it being such a small school they don't have as many opportunities that other schools have to offer to prepare you for not only college but the real world.

This school doesn't provide any kind of bullying prevention. After many attempts at trying to gain their attention, and failing, I made the decision to leave. To this day, I have not once regretted my decision.
