My overall high school experience was great! I learned a lot from my peers and the staff here at West Hempstead not just by learning, but also by personal connection.

I had a good experience at West Hempstead High School. I met my 4 best friends of right now there. I learned many things about myself and also information I didn't know through my classes. The only thing I say I had an issue with was some of the teachers. One of the teachers put in grades super late that your grade will either go up or drown dramatically. But, there were teachers there that were just excellent and that truly made my high school experience great. This is why I rate my school a 4/5 stars.

West Hempstead High School is a well-rounded school. I believe that the teachers there know what they're doing. Most teachers I have had so far in my high school experience teach in a way that is embedded into my memory. West Hempstead High School also does its best in actually caring about the students. As for the negatives, I believe that sanitation can improve.
