There is no policy that will make students go to class in place. My daughter learned early on how easy it is to sluff... Yes we had discussions... but kids are sluffing and walking around the school during class and nothing is being done about it. My daughter has been in trouble because of the teachers lack of getting assignments graded on time. Poor communication between parents and teachers as they never email you back about student progress or anything else. Fighting is always happening, and I feel a big part of that is because these kids are not going to class, nor are they being forced to.

Hi! I have four children and my youngest has been attending West High School since her freshman year. I highly recommend West. My older children went to Brighton High School. While Brighton was a good school, I much prefer West. West has a diversity of students from different backgrounds. I have found the West students to be harder working and kinder students. West offers an advanced program through their Baccalaureate Career Related Program. My daughter has finished almost all of her high school classes and will be taking SLCC concurrent classes at West next year.

This school is a joke, no communication, short notice for seniors, no notice of changes to ib , ib seniors where expected to do 80hrs community service told was waved because of covid informed may of senior year required again had to drop ib , teachers don’t put in any grades until week of grades are due at best some the night of , you just have to hope your grades are good , and if there is a mistake too bad or they lost an email of work or a paper you have to find asap . This school is an utter disappointment so glad to be done with

This is the oldest school in the state, but has fallen to be the worst. It is a real jungle.

The current administration is a complete failure. Two years under the new administration has resulted in a chaotic school. Some staff have left to escape the zoo, while many others wish they could.
