This school is an outstanding place to learn. In order to truly see what a school has to offer you must see it in the works.
i think west mongomery is one of the best schools that is out there... they have the best teachers.
First off it is appalling that some alumni would speak in the fashion that they do about there School. West Montgomery dose have a limited class load, but some great teacher. The kids that sit here and said they learn or learned nothing were lazy. There are plenty of great teachers and class's you just have to take them. West Montgomery is very limited by resources and has a school board that is far to liberal and try's to do to much. They have always gotta but in, and fire Teachers and Principles because they refuse to play there game, or give in. See to many people in this county have to much money and power and no good sense with it. In there eyes there kids can do no wrong and they will get there way any means necessary. West Montgomery has great athletics and AP classes.
I would to see a better guidance office at West Montgomery HS. It is still lacking with giving accurate and beneficial information to kids concerning the classes they should take and informing the kids what their GPA really means and how it is calclated. My son was given inadequate information when he was an incoming freshman that kept him from being near or in the top ten of his senior class.
I am a student at West Montgomery High School and I am very sorry to say but it is a terrible school. All students deserve to be treated the same, but the way WMHS thinks is that if you have money then you get what you want. I am very tired of always working my butt off and getting nothing from that school while other students just get there Mom and Dad to say something nad they get what they want. If the adminstarters here know your Mom and Dad then you dont need to worry about having a good life. This school needs to realize that money in not everything!!!!! I am so tired of going to a school woh does not care aobut noone!!!!!
Still a pathetic example of public education. The students walk out of class and more often than not, you will find them wondering the halls. Walk behind the math wing on any given day and you will find multiple students out of class ans texting or talking on forbidden cellphones. The inmates run this prison.
I have to say that I feel let down by my experiences in high school. For me, going to West Montgomery has been an absolute nightmare. At West Montgomery, if you participate in any other extracurricular activity besides football, you are never going to get any attention. Football coaches pretty much run the show at West. Most of the teachers are just there for a paycheck and could care less about the students. Of course there are several exceptions to this but they are few and far between. Keep your kids away from West Montgomery.
This is a very good School. It is sometimes an up side down School but it gets better. The teachers need to to b a little better but othe than that it is an OK School.
While this 'renaissance' is occurring at West Montgomery, it's still as bad as it was before. Football is treated as the most important sport by far since it generates the most revenue, or 'pays the bills' as the football players mockingly say when the other students complain about it. Little to no consideration is put into the other sports.
West Montgomery High School is experiencing a 'renaissance'. The county has hired an excellent superintendent and new administrators who are changing the culture and priorities of the school. It's fast becoming a great school where learning comes first and students have high expectations. i hope my kids will attend a school like this someday.
