I am not a fan of West Middle School. The teachers do not present an encouraging atmosphere and the administration is severely lacking. Could I do it over again, my children would not go to West - or any other school in Rapid City - they would have been homeschooled through their middle school years.
I remember the time when I was at West Middle. The teachers and administration were beyond excellent, and I made friends with nearly every single kid in my grade all three years in a row. I'm a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High in Florida now, and I still look back to my middle school days. I'll always be a West Wolf for life. Middle school class of 08!
This year at West Middle School i learned alot and it has great teachers and many programs
We had four children attend West Middle School and we felt that they had a great all- around experience there.
west is a very great school. it has great teachers. and everybody is really nice i love west
West is a very good school to be going to. The teachers are excellent in every way, and the principle is terrific. But I can't forget the vice principle! The teachers will answer every question with an educated response, and help your children succeed in and out of school. I'm an 8th grader this year, and sadly I will have to leave West next year.
My children had a great experience at West. Lots of good teachers who made it enjoyable--especially a certain 6th grade teacher. Academics were stressed but in a non-threatening way. Sports were a blast.
Excellent experience. While in a system as complex as core-based curriculum, you can't expect every teacher to be at the top of their game, but somehow they are -- not a dud in the bunch! Great, caring leadership and environment. Accountability stressed and enforced -- perfect for adolecents! Great foundation for future success evidenced in my own!
