I am a recent graduate of this school and personally I had a hellish experience at this school I have an iep and it was constantly ignored and they never reached out to my parents so she was completely left in the dark and I almost failed out with little to no support the school's academic support staff is way to low. I was also bullied and the school promised they would keep everything confidential and unfortunately they didn't and also refused to believe the severity of some bullying and would only talk to the kids who bullied me it got so bad to the point I has started audio recordings of the incidents and was threatened with a call to police it caused me to fall into the worst depression and while I was at the mental hospital they counted it as absences I felt completely unsafe and unsupported.They also will do anything to protect any kids on sports teams like letting kids bully those with disabilities or even joke about school shootings or straight up abuse the staff. It's absolutely disgusting and the arts are severely underfunded and the bathrooms are always closed and they'll give you a detention for being a minute late twice and not give detention to bullies. They also do not check up on kids who constantly go to the nurse just to escape school I've had a few amazing teachers like all of the art teachers the English department science and personal fitness but it has given me so much traumaPlease do better

As you can see the google review has been banned. That is because multiple people have come out with the truth. Additionally, as you can see, all positive reviews from this school dates back to 2018 or prior and this is almost proof enough of why this school is such an unsafe environment for kids. I appeal to you, the other parents, do not send your kids to this school. They do not prioritize social and emotional support. They have allowed my child to be bullied constantly despite reaching out multiple times and now, he’s struggling to cope.

Blue ribbon school! I went to a private school before fifth grade where I went to West Elementary and now I'm in 8th grade. I feel like homework is always managable where the maximum time in takes to finish homework is one hour. The french tacher is great! We always play games and make crepes and chocolate fountains, cheese tastings, and we learn through movies and stuff, even though she gives us homework and quizzes pretty often. I love all my teacheers--Well, maybe except the old or ELA teachers who give you a butt ton of essays. I don't really like essays. But they're not bad. Our students are all super nice and friendly as well as awesome to be around! Well, I don't really like some of the emo kids, but that's my personal opinion. The kids in my grade always invite people to sit with them at lunch and I've never really seen anyone be bullied at all. I feel like we have a diverse student population and everyone respects and are friends with each other. WEST IS BEST!!! (Blue ribbon)
