I went to this school for 7 years and I only saw 1 fight break out. The food was ok but a little expensive and the classrooms were fine. Most teachers were cool but some thought they were a level above their students. I never paid attention to how well we did sports-wise, but I do know the marching band was very fun. Overall I think I had it pretty good there.

I really enjoyed my time at Western High School and the opportunities I have gotten by attending. My favorite part was the sporting events and the dances that my high school had. Seeing everyone get together to celebrate something was truly special. I did dislike the preparation for college admissions and did not feel ready or organized for applying for scholarships and colleges.

Overall it was a great school and I loved it, but there were some complaints. Some of the students there are stuck up snobs and like to talk down on people they believe are less than them. Most of the teachers do take pride in making sure we actually learn and understand the materials they're teaching however.

The AP courses slightly do, but there are limited spots in the classes a...

Since enrolling my child in this school, they have flourished. They have teachers, counselors and coaches who check in with my child to see if they need help and to make sure they are okay. My child is not only excelling in academics but excelling socially. My child has been in 5 different schools d...
