In the past seven academic years the school has had a consistent problem with not knowing when a sixth grader has left the campus and not been signed out. The school also has a problem in the office with paying attention to details to the point where it's concerning especially when your child can just leave campus and go somewhere else and be seen and the school had no idea that she was gone. It's also really appalling the level of excuses the principal Stephanie southcott comes up with when your child is screaming for help emotionally. She blames autism as a excuse when the autism has nothing to do with it and she has a copy of the IEP from a different County as well as a 504 plan. It takes numerous calls to correct anything with this office and numerous attempts to just get a copy of your child's file In the meantime children there are only allowed to perform academically to a very low bar and when your child constantly test higher than that in the state testing they still only keep your child at the low bar and not a combination classroom. The middle school is a joke You only have three teachers and 6 weeks after they start 6th grade they may get a locker for PE it's not high school preparatory at all It doesn't prepare for them for the real world on any level and unfortunately my child only had three good teachers the first three years she was there The rest have all been very challenging and difficult unfortunately my daughter has not been taken care of or given the respect that she needed while attending there This will be her last year.

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.
