I love that West Prairie is such a small school, because it makes it very easy to get help when it is needed. When that help is needed, the teachers are very welcoming. I have never had an issue trying to get help from a teacher. The only thing I wish would change is the lunch food. My senior year, the food started to improve, but freshman through junior year, the food was not very good. There were many times students would get rotten milk.

Great sense of community. Prepared me for college and life after high school. Very rural but still close to larger town. Teachers are caring and invest in their students and their well being.

West Pararie High School is good when it comes to agriculture related classes. When it comes to protection against bullying, teachers being nice and fair, students not being secluded, this school greatly is lacking. I DO NOT recommend this High School for any student

This school has no real policies on bullying and will not change anything to help a victim of bullying I give this school one star for its laziness.
