5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI dont really know why so many people are saying West is such a great place. Its good for a "high school" and academics but if your child is social at all, they will have a hard time adjusting here. Most of the students are involved with illicit things, and i can say this with much first hand experience, alot of girls here are generally morally loose(if you get what im saying) and extremely judgmental of others. Its tough to actually make friends because of the intolerance and overall ignorance of personal diversity and freedoms but if your a "Redneck" or extremely outgoing/bubbly person you shouldn't have too much of a hard time fitting in here. Diversity as stated before is very unwelcome, and most of the schools values are highly Conservative. The principal tries his best but at times he ends up not making the best decision as a whole. In the end though, this is a average High School with average things happening you would expect teens to be into. The schooling is good, and the staff is actually very interested in your own situation if its worth their time and oppurtunity is everywhere. The only downside is the student body. The students are what bring this school down overall.Student Review13y ago - West Wilkes Middle
