I was very fortunate with the teachers I had and the opportunities I was given. However, I feel many of my peers were not able to experience this. Perhaps it was because I was so adamant about my goals, but it was still hard to see others not reach their full potential. That being said, there are very wonderful people who will help you when you ask. At the high school, I have no complaints about any of the administrators.

Hated every part of it. The teachers care more about gossiping than teaching, certain kids are favorited over others and get special treatment, the kids are cliquey and bully. It's a terrible environment and a terrible academic experience also

My overall experience at West Fork High School was a positive one. I enjoyed the teaching staff and what they do to make sure you get the best education. I also enjoyed how competitive the sports are. Something that I would like see change is the classes we are offered. It would be nice to see more offered.
