"The parents' spelling seems to be just as bad as the students. I'm appalled at how West has spiraled downward since my time many decades ago. At that time, there were VERY FEW Hispanics (thank God!) and very few students dropped out. We were all interested in getting good grades and being part of National Honor Society. Does that even exist nowadays? It really sickens me."

"There is not a lot of learning going on at West High School. There on not enough teachers and the ones still working there are plagued by poor leadership put in place by DPS. The classrooms are are overcrowded and the teachers end up as babysitters. Next year I intend to transfer my child to a school where he will have a chance to prepare for his future."

"HIspanic based population that is very gang related! West has always been a problem and continues to be. Kids who would rather rave then learn, girls that would rather be socially open than learn and get out of the ghetto they grew up in."

"I have one child attending West and as the principal was the same as when my child attended Middle school, he knew what my child needed to do well in school. With that in mind, my son has done quite well and is now preparing to become a sophmore. West is a great school now in thanks to the new principal"
