I've loved my experience attending a school in the West Ada School District. All the staff and teachers that I've talked to are so friendly and willing to help! As I've toured many schools in the district during basketball and football games, they all uphold the same positivity and acceptance.
The district leadership, especially throughout the pandemic, has been very concerned for and aware of the students' needs. I receive several emails a week from the district relaying how the district is adjusting to keep its students safe throughout these crazy times.
To go more into depth about the teachers, I would like to lightly explain my experiences. Every teacher that I've had - and I really do mean each one - has been consistently available to help me improve my grade or learn more about the subject. I'm so grateful to have been able to grow up in a district that has helped me to receive the education I desire and that has prepared me for the next level of education in my life.

There are a great many absolutely amazing teachers in the West Ada school district, however the school district seems to have a problem with bureaucracy. As a whole, administrators and staff do not respond to parent concerns or return phone calls. Parents will not even know if their child skipped class until evening, and then through an automated system. Parents are not allowed access to assignments until the assignment is long past due. Parents are not allowed to be involved and are discouraged from being on campus, often having to stand outside the locked building negotiating with the front office through an intercom. Some teachers refuse to provide a parents a syllabus or lesson plan. The lack of transparency is greatly disturbing. The district and school administrators seem to be more concerned with maintaining a public image than with meeting individual student’s educational needs and addressing legitimate parental concerns.
West Ada School District is an amazing school district. I have been going to school through them since elementary school. During the pandemic, they have done an amazing job adapting to the changes, and making appropriate requirements on how to keep everyone safe and balanced during these uncertain times! I do believe that they do have a few faults with the way that we do our lockdown and fire drills, but they are still trying to figure it out, so it is understandable.
