This school places a lot of emphasis on whole child development. It is academically challenging but also places great importance on extra curricular activities. My three boys have all thrived there and tell me that they feel supported by their teachers. I saw one post saying there are no sports teams - that may have been the way things were. This year 2021-2022 they had competitive soccer and volleyball teams as well as an e-sports team. Their bands and choirs also compete. On top of that there are a ton of clubs and the kids are free to start up new clubs with teacher approval. The student boys is diverse and the teachers are young and enthusiastic.

This was one of the best schools i have been to very clean the teachers are nice my first year i was scared but now im not and i made a best friend.

There are only a handful of good teachers at this school. The majority are either good people with terrible teaching abilities or teachers with a pretty okay teaching curriculum but absolutely horrendous personalities, with another portion of the staff just being terrible teachers and people. Multiple times students have informed the office about teachers with racist behavior or teachers with unsafe characteristics in the classroom, and have been completely ignored. Our campus staff has people who work hard to help maintain a safe and healthy school for students to attend. Still, it is oftentimes overshadowed by a disorganized administration and an oppressive learning environment. If there's something I would like West to do in the future, it's to actually take the time to listen to your student body and not encourage us to "talk to you" and then completely ignore our emails, deny our requests for meetings, and dismiss our ideas and then replace them with your own WITHOUT our input. Thank you to the staff and teachers that actually made being a student at West worth it, and I hope to never see the rest again in the future.
