"The principal follows-through on the rules, makes himself available to the parents, follows-up on any concerns that I present to him. I highly recommend the principal. He is always in the hallways, the lunchroom, the open house, etc. The office staff know the parents by name and make parents feel welcome. HOWEVER, the kids who attend this school have the foulest of foul language. I have been pleased with the teachers and principal and disappointed with the character of the children who attend the school. The math teacher is excellent."

"This is a wonderful school with an expanding math program. The writing my child does is phenomenal with great feedback from his teachers. Compared to the local private school, this school is head and shoulders above it, particularly with regard to writing skills. Opportunites are available for students to excel if they choose to follow through. Any issues that have come up have been addressed promptly and fairly by the principal. The new superintendent of schools has made a big difference with an even stronger academic focus, striving to achieve maximum gains for our children."

"Great School!!!! You cannot teach in a class where there is no discipline. In a controlled setting like West has, teaching can be taken to its fullest potential. Great Job West Junior High!!!"
