I go to this school and all the teachers take time to help you with anything that you have a problem with. The teachers will NOT let you fail and let you be help back. The programs like chorus and band are awesome. If I had a chance to go to any school and i knew about this school I would chose thisschool over any of them. I love this school. I am in 8th grade.

Awesome school. None of the teachers let their kids fall behind without helping them as much as possible. about 60% of the fights are stopped and resolved before even done. the principal is very donating, and the school is doing a lot for people both failing and passing. They have awesome gym, band, choir, art, ect. programs in the school. This is all from a student

I am a 7th grader here at the school and i have to say the teachers are great but the amount of discipline really is not up to par. The teachers can't control their students and it makes me scared that as a student they can a llow fights and drama that can be harmful to the students. Just recently there was a very violent fight. Although acedemics are okay, they could put in more effort.

I am a teacher at Western Heights Middle School. I came to WHMS four years ago as a new teacher in Washington County and ahven't left yet. There is something about the support of parents, the great staff who works so hard as a team to see all students succeed, and the students that makes you want to stay. I enjoy pushing my students to look forward to all the great possibilities and opportunites that the future and life can bring. Pushing our students to be all that they can be, and watching it happened in the course of three years and less. This is a great school to work at because with great challenges there are great rewards!

I have a sixth grader at this school. I was very nervous about him going into middle school. I will say that I am very pleased with the teachers in this school. They honestly take the time to teach the students and keep them on track. Great Job Western Heights Teachers!!
