When I moved to this school, I looked everywhere online to find more information about it. This review will attempt to cover everything that I had once wanted to see. I will attempt to give a positive for every negative I have.The academics here are sort of lacking. Most of the classes are geared towards kids who could not pass standardized testing (ISTEP) and even the honors classes are behind what better schools can offer. Therefore, I encourage everyone to take AP and dual credits as soon as possible because these classes have most of the best teachers of the school.The student culture here can be a little toxic. While there is a lot of encouragement towards clubs and sports, many students label those who work hard as "try-hards." Cheating is also a large issue at this school and makes homework sort of pointless to assign in the first place, but this isn't that big of an issue because most of the kids who cheat fail their tests. Karma!Overall, you can find good teachers and classes to take here so long as you fit into the accepted mold. So long as you can make the most of what is provided, you will thrive.Suggestion: if interested in harder classes or more specialized instruction, apply to Signature School or one of EVSC's pullout programs.

the school help me so much im so thankful.

Our boys have been at West Terrace since 2019. We have had a wonderful experience. The teachers have been accommodating and are always willing to talk about any concerns we have.

I was fortunate enough to meet one on one with the principal before the school year, and chose NTI for my son based on the opportunities and benefits available to him at this particular school. Their structure and schedule is not the same as other schools, and I believe their philosophy and teaching strategies provide an advantage for the students. Beyond the ideology, on a personal level, I have been made to feel very unwelcome by every staff member I've been in contact with since the beginning of school. Surely there are wonderful teachers in the building, but overall the staff has been condescending and rude. I would hope that even when dealing with people like myself who are apparently unintelligent and undesirable, professional staff who deal with the public could feign respect long enough to communicate effectively and without passive aggressive undertones.
