West Hills High School

Boy do I relate to the counseling staff they have 2 that try to cover for the rest that do absolutely nothing. It takes weeks for them to see a student. This is a real problem when you have a Senior. The district office doesn't even want you to know where they are. The have you leave voice messages but no one ever calls back.

I am a sophomore at West Hills and the staff there really do care about their students. I have had teachers ask me if i'm ok and inquire why other students seem unhappy and the majority of the teachers are pretty awesome :) sure there's the occasional crazy but hey it just makes the day better :) the campus is fantastic although not built for rain and the people here are generally very accepting of new students :)

Great school! The faculty and curriculum helped prepare me for college and made me the well-rounded person I am today. I had no bad experiences with any of the faculty and would recommend this school to anyone.

We love this school. The teachers and staff are so friendly and the students are really down to earth and nice. The curriculum is adequate for college, if the student is willing to put the work in, the curriculem and support system is there for the student.

I absolutely love my school. The staff is amazing and care so much. This is defiantly a place to go for academics, sports, and just having fun. Our school loves to have fun and be active. I dont know what else to say right now but i really think this is a very good school

Hey, it's not at all a bad place to go. You've got your regular peer pressure, etc, but the teachers are all pretty col, and freshmen tend to do well throughout. :)

I wish I could say I agree with these other great reviews. Our experience has been that 60% of the teachers are very proactive and really care about the kids but a full 40% are not well trained, not well managed and have a high percentage of failure within their own classrooms. Additionally the counseling staff take weeks to see a student after sign-up. Follow-up of the counseling staff gets an F. Even poor attiudes from the highest manger abound within that office.

West Hills was a school of choice for our 2 daughters. They have both excelled acedemically as well as socially. We have great praise for the staff at WH!!

I'm currently an 11th grader at West Hills, and I love it. I struggled near the end of elemantary school, and didn't even get to walk through graduation at the end of middle school because I did so bad, but now my grades are very rarely below C's. I can't say I've never got a C or below in a class, but it doesn't happen a lot, because the teachers make it easy for me to raise my grade and keep it up. They always help me when I need it. I also like all of the options for classes, there are so many different classes that I wouldn't have even thought a school offered, and I like that I have a wide variety to choose from each new year so I'm not always stuck with classes that don't interest me.
