West Carroll Junior Senior High School is the best school a student could possibly ever want to go to. The principal, teachers, students, custodians, and cafeteria workers are all so friendly and supportive. When a new student comes to West Carroll, students always make an effort to make a new friend. All of the teachers make a top priority effort to make sure the students understand what they are teaching. If students don't understand it during class, they can go back to the class during any time of the day to get extra help. If there is any parent thinking about enrolling their child into a school, learn more about West Carroll. I am currently a student at West Carroll and have one year left before I graduate. I love West Carroll! I have always went to West Carroll and I will graduate there.

I have one son there and one will be starting there this year. This is our first year here. I've found that the Principal, though maybe just a little full of himself, is serious about keeping drugs out of the school. The Guidance Dept. is awesome. They really helped my son when he first started there. Also, the BAND instructors have made the Band class a place anyone would want to be. Everyone is friendly and the instructors are dedicataed to helping the kids learn to do their best. I've only met a few teachers but other than one (who is not coming back this coming year) , I believe them to be sincere about giving the kids the best knowledge to further their education and begin readying for their future. Teachers take time for the kids here and pay attention to their needs.

Absolutely fantastic school! The teachers can use a little work but the extra-curricular activities are a major role in the school! It's a small town, but you can't blame the children for any negative things that do happen like drugs. You must blame the small-town parents who grew up there and don't discipline their children accordingly. Students have a chance to excel here! My advice, join the band! Great band program! Best in the state!

West Carroll is a nice school, but some schools have more to offer as far as college goes.

I attend West Carroll and the only problem that I have with it is the lack of support that the community and some of the parents give to the students and staff. The principal seems to really be cracking down on the drug issue. I have friends from other schools constantly talking about how bad the drugs are at their school. It irritates me when people from other schools bash West Carroll. I think what W.C. really needs more parental involvement. I honestly believe that the administrators, principal, and teachers are doing their job in assuring that we are receiving a good education and information that will prepare us for college.

I hate this school. My kids come home from school every day mad because of all the drugs that are being past around. And I hate the principal he does not do anything about it! I don't think he even knows! what is going on at his own school!
