West Side High School Reviews
Rating 3.31 out of 5 62 reviews
Westside is great school. It has a diverse academic program for students that offers dual enrollment which enables students to obtain an associate degree along with their high school diploma. The school administrators are awesome, working with parents and students to ensure that students are able to get all of their needs met. The school staff not only cares about their students, but the family and community in a whole.
West side high school gives out great opportunities to their students and help for various things but some teachers aren’t the greatest at their job
I love this school the economy is great, many opportunities for goals you plan on achieving after high school such as business
