West Catholic is an exceptional school. I attended West all four year of high school and am now in my second year of college at a Big Ten University. I believe that I was well prepared for college because of my time at West Catholic. The curriculum was challenging yet awarding, especially if you take the offered Honors and AP courses. The staff and athletics were great and the school was, all around, a community. Every high school has its pitfalls but the administration goes great lengths to correct these with grace, wisdom and guidance from the Lord. This private school experience not only encouraged me to "step it up" in my faith life but in my service as well. Any student, parent or family that takes the initiative to get involved here will look back on their years at West Catholic as an experience of a lifetime. Go Green!
this school is horrible, well no the teachers are great the staff is great but the students are horrible they all need to grow up and get over themselves
West Catholic is a Christian based school that combines exceptional academics with excellent athletic programs and a strongly connected community of families. Students are not only taught high moral values, they and their families are treated with respect by the staff and other students. This school offers a real sense of togetherness and belonging, which is rare in many other school programs. Kids and parents are treated as individuals and not numbers. Many of the parents are graduates of West Catholic themselves, which only proves the quality and exceptional character of the school.
The academics are excellent. If your student excells academically, this is a great school for them. The teachers who teach honors and AP courses are exceptional. My son enjoys school and is greatly challenged. Students have access to all types of sporting activities and other extracurricular activities.
