I'm a parent with a child now in 2nd grade, started in Kindergarten. We love this school! Safe, clean, new upgrades to safety and landscaping as of 2025. The teachers and staff are present and friendly. The school activities are fun and rewarding for the kids. The campus has been here for many years, my senior neighbor attended school here!

Too many fights, vaping in the bathroom, no true accountability for the kids. Had to take my child out and he is not thriving in a different school. Literally thought it was him, & put a huge strain on our relationship, thankful I listened to my intuition and didn’t try taking the easy way out and keeping him there.

West Hills has some great teacher and some amazing advanced placement classes. The problem i feel with this school is there athletic department. Especially the mens soccer. If you have a son that hopes to play at West Hills unless you are friends with the coaches or a child of a teacher dont bother having your son try out for soccer. I have been to every game for 2 years. It is very sad to see the same kids sitting on the bench week after week. And it has nothing to do with there experience or the ability. There are kids that have been playing for year, been on club soccer teams, played at other school. It is favoritism. And it is ruining kids self esteem. Kids wonder if they are not good enough or what is wrong with them. Dont put your child thru this sad experience. Sign them up for club or one of the other soccer clubs.
