West High School Reviews

 
The CIS (Center for Internation Studies) at West High is a great program. Students get to travel all around the world. It gives them great opportunity to relate to different cultures. The majority of students at west is Hispanics. The athletic department isn't that bad, but it needs help in teaching students; if they start from the basics the kids could get ahead. Most students have never played sports before until they get into high school. The majority of coaches assume that all kids have played sports. The area is a poor area. Parent involvement is very poor and needs to improve.

My youngest son is doing good at west, the other two have struggled through it. I believe it is peer pressure and just bad choice. I had to take one son out. He was doing great (A student) before attending west then failed. It is a total shock when a child changes so drastically and when nobody sees him as the great student he was (new school teacher don't know him) they were treating him like a failure and not a child who came from a small school and was being pulled apart by peer pressure. I think West needs to give there students what they need more role models and better teachers.

West High School and its staff are a benefit to our neighborhood for the diversity and rich culture West High School has in its own backyard!

west is a very good school the staff is there to help your child in anyway they can the principal is one of the best i have knowen and is proud of his staff student's

West High School was an excellent high school for my son. In particular, the Center for International Studies(CIS) program provided him with international travel opportunities, a broad range of international classes and a very diverse group of student peers. West High School itself has some great teachers and opportunities. Though the school has a bad reputation, we did not see it often, and the experience there was generally good.
