Overall, West Wendover High School is very welcoming and the staff is so helpful. I have attended nearly 4-years of high school here and I have not had any problems. I feel happy to have attended this school and to be able to be part of a good school. I don't think they need any changes besides maybe the food, the milk was not a pleasant experience in the past.

I liked all my classes but there is a lot of judgmental people and teachers who don't take other students into consideration.

What did I like about this school? Well I liked that many teachers wanted to help you, I like that the school was tiny so it was easy to find rooms, students, teachers, etc. What I didn't like about this school was all the testing. My grade (class of 2018) were like gerbils, we tested every test before we actually made it an actual test that had to be passed. Other than that, the school has some amazing teachers and an overall amazing staff.

WWJH/HS is in a isolated area 120 miles for any large city. It is hard to attract quality teachers to an area like this. I have taught at this school for 8 years and have seen good and bad admin and teachers come and go. The good thing abut this bad economy is that we are able to weed out the bad te...
