I have a great experience with my School great teachers great sports. I personally play three sports for four years. I am national honor I have state and global Biliteracy seal. I volunteer so many hours for school and community. Our school really stands up after every student. I will recommend West Springfield high school as a number one in Massachusetts.

I think they do a good job with trying to get kids to learn but the teachers are not teaching things in the best ways possible so that the learning can be more understood

In the time I was in my school we had the bathroom break down and flood the basement twice. We had almost no access to a lot of sites that we could use for research. Not to mention we've had some major accidents such as a 2022 senior jumping from the 2nd floor to the basement and in the year difference they never discouraged this what so ever

Horrible. As the saying goes "the fish rots from the head down" A change in the administration, namely the Superintendent must go or this school will continue to go down. Look at the numbers over the last 4 years. We are accepting mediocrity. What a shame! This town needs to wake up

I am a parent of an IEP student. My child went to the Westfield MA public school system and I had so many issues with this school and some of the teachers there, and I am an alumni of the Westfield High School. I guess years do make a difference. I had to move out of state for my health and the Flor...
