My overall experience in west liberty high school has been very different than my brothers experience. During my freshman year there was a bunch of drama on instagram and there was a page that posted people in bad situations. Later into my freshman year I finished my cpr requirements and the week after the nurse that had helped us died. All the math teachers have changed since I've been here the freshman teacher quit after her first year then the senior and junior math teacher retired and last year the temporary freshman teacher quit because he needed to retake anger management classes after he hit his kid. overall my time here has been bad but at least I made some life long friends

The teachers are dedicated to helping progress their students in their academic and extracurricular endeavors. I wish they would improve their communication with students about volunteering opportunities.
