I had a great expierience at Westby High school, they provided me with lots of information and lots of help that I have used to get through my High School Career. When I graduate from college there is a great chance that I come back to Westby to continue to grow from the person that I am today. I would recommend that any person who wants to settle down in a small town, settles in Westby. They don't have a lot going on and it is very easy to fit in here. Westby is an all around good school and town to go to as they have great people and greate staff.

There are far too few great teachers - I can count them all on one hand. The rest of the teachers are absolutely horrible, and I learn next to nothing. I speak from experience, since I have attended two different school districts, not including this one. Students are poorly prepared, and the skills that they DO possess are extremely lack-luster.

All of the students are the same as the clique they belong to. You can count the amount of minority students on one hand. Believe me when I say it's difficult to fit in if you don't fit into any specific group and meet their expectations.
