In my experience at West High School, there have been many great and not so great things to happen. When you talk about kindness and comfort from the staff, it is excellent, and I would not change it for the world. But when it comes to the type of people that attend the school, some are mean but that is every where. Overall with out the other people the school is great and would recommend it to many people that are wanting to attend it.

Due to the explosion the district has done it's best to ensure safety for students set up in temporary classrooms.

The teachers at West High School are good at what they do. Some teachers do not go into full detail of the lessons.

Fair to Good, but not excellent. Poor educator-parent support or interaction. Poor teacher-parent feedback. Glad my daughter graduated and has moved on to college.

My 5 children received their entire K thru 12 education from the West School District and they were very well prepared for college. They have all since graduated from various colleges and are working as successful professionals in their chosen careers. As a parent, you can't ask much more from a sch...
