Due to McHenry West Campus being such a large school there are always new people to meet and new activities to get involved in. Some of the best years of my life were spent here and I will miss it dearly.

Staff are extremely rude and unprofessional. School parking lot is complete disaster and every week multiple accidents occur in parking lot and school refuses to fix situation. Very disappointed. Had a great experience at Mchenry East, with west being the complete opposite.
