"West is a great school if the student wants tol learn and has supportive parents. I graduated from there in 2003 and there was alot of peer pressure but my parents were great role models and that made me excell. The teachers were also very supportive when they saw a student wanting to learn and grow."

"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."

"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."
