I like Westside because of how small it is. Everyone knows everybody and it's like a big family. What I would like to see change is the funding Westside has. I feel that Westside needs more funding from the state. Westside is a small school and could use all the help it could get.

Love Westside High School. I went to Westside and so did my children. Big enough for great education, lots of activities and organisations offered and small enough to feel like a family. Many of the faculty were Westside students so you know they love the school and want to keep it a great school.
