My experience has been that all sub populations are valued and the primary concern is to teach and graduate literate students. Community is key.

This is a small town school with huge inner-city school problems. There is a very big problem with bullying and the district's approach to their issues is blanket punishment. My honor roll and national honor society students often came home from school in tears over punishments they were dealt because of their peers. There is a big communication problem with administration and parents when it comes to students. There has been more than one occasion when the school has had parents sign letters requesting parents to pick up students after extracurricular activities and field trips to not find their children on campus because they were sent home on a bus without notification. Staff does not respond to letters and emails and do not intervene when students are having issues with peers until it gets too far and all students are punished. Uniform dress code is strictly enforced inconsistent and very confusing from campus to campus.

I've been a parent at West Side for the last 5 yrs & had my oldest son in this school as well. I've never had a complaint at all. The entire staff is amazing! You will not find a school that teaches, loves, care, & encourages your child like West Side!

Wonderful school. The teachers and administrators seem to really look out for the best interest of the students.
