West Jordan isn't the worse high school out there but there needs to be some improvements in areas. I no longer attend there but I did graduate from there and it wasn't the best place to graduate from. Our teachers didn't act like they really wanted to be teaching us and no one cared to show up to classes since nothing was stopping them from skipping. I would hope that they have put in consequences for skipping class and hopefully add teacher evaluations so they can understand where they need to do better at.

I think West Jordan is a very diverse school that really tries their best to include everyone. The school can get really bad at times with kids skipping or doing illegal activities. But for the most part teachers tend to care about us students and that is something I love about west jordan. I would love to see a change in kids showing up to class. That definitely affects everyone in the school.

This school is awful. Genuinely one of my least favorite schools I've ever been too. The only reason it isn't a 1 star is because there are some good teachers here who actually care about their job. Most don't though.

I would never recommend west jordan high school to anybody. The teachers, the staff, the students, and the energy of that school is the worst I’ve seen in several schools I’ve been to. Valley being so looked down upon, Valley showed me why my standards were so low for other schools specifically West...

Extremely bad at organizing things. Doesn't understand students well. Recently took a chromebook in and they lied about me breaking the screen. (It was wear and tear) then said they'd replaced the screen but did more than that as my short cuts had gotten removed.

Great school with great resources to prepare students for life after high school (college courses, tech center integration, etc), effective faculty and programs, and a good variety of electives.
