I believe that a lot of people underestimate West Hempstead High School and the school district itself when it comes to being a good school. The school district has a handful of teachers who really care for their students and assist them through their education, playing an impactful role in the student's lives in the future. While it is not the BEST school ever, I would not consider it a bad place.

I had a good experience at West Hempstead High School. I met my 4 best friends of right now there. I learned many things about myself and also information I didn't know through my classes. The only thing I say I had an issue with was some of the teachers. One of the teachers put in grades super late that your grade will either go up or drown dramatically. But, there were teachers there that were just excellent and that truly made my high school experience great. This is why I rate my school a 4/5 stars.

Like any other district, you're going to find some great people and experiences and some disagreeable ones. It's defi...
