Considering this high school overall, it’s a good school. There are many honors and AP classes that students can participate in. Teachers for the most part are supportive and do well to teach. There are a few who aren’t as good, but that’s with any school. In my experience, guidance counselors can be hit or miss, but are generally good. The food is average for school food. There are many clubs, sports, and activities for students to participate in outside of class. There have been issues surrounding LGBTQ+ students within the district with pride flags and book bans. But since the board switched, there haven’t been as many problems. I have never felt unsafe being at west. Making friends hasn’t been a problem for me either, everyone is generally friendly and there are limited conflicts between students. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience at west and would recommend this school.
My high school isn’t one of the ordinary. Central bucks west high school has taught and exceeded many students who didn’t think they had it in them my most positive experience here would definitely the help and support from all the teachers and counselors they helped not only me but other students with many problems. I’ve had no issues regarding bashing this school. One of the bests and most importantly one of the best environments.
Overall, it is a very good school where students can definitely find most resources for a traditional education. However, anyone that goes against the grain or wants to go down a less expected path, it is not encouraged and the help provided is minimal, if at all.
