"West brunswick is an excellent school to attend for the area. Yes, it has it's problems but every school does. It is improving every day and has changed a lot over the four years I have attended. There are some terrible teachers, yes, but the memorable teachers far outweigh. I have had teachers that have left an impact on my life forever. I just had a teacher say to me "I have no doubt that you will be successful. I honestly think you will go very far in life." I haven't had this teacher for two years. It shows they really do care about their students. To all the negative comments: WBHS is a family. We have dealt with many deaths of our peers in just my four years and each time the principal takes time to announce the death of a "family member" and we all come together and get through it. West has left an impact in my life and I will forever be a trojan. If you don't feel this way, maybe you should open your eyes to the beautiful things around you instead of narrowing your vision to just the negative aspects."

"I had the honor of graduating from West in 2007. Go Trojans! We had three different principals during my four years there. I really enjoyed my time at West and I still have a good relationship with most of the teachers I had. Most have either retired or transferred schools but I still keep in contact with them. West, like any school, is whatever you make it. I did anything and everything I could at West to keep myself out of trouble since I come from a single parent household. I took all honors while at West. The teachers were very helpful and a couple of them helped me get into college. The athletics are great and they should be better this year since West is in a different conference. Overall, West is an average school but if you take advantage of the things there it can be an wonderful experience."
