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.

Preface: I have been a student within the West Ada School District for 5 years, I have a 4.0 GPA (weighted & unweighted), and I attend the top highschool in the state which is Renaissance Highschool (apart of West Ada).
If you are new to the area I would recommend West Ada above all other school districts in the state. Not only because of personal bias but statistically we have the best college readiness percentages in the states, a wide variety in curriculum, and we offer both the International Baccalaureate program and the associates of arts program. If your goal is to place your student in an environment in which they will be enriched and challenged the West Ada School district is for you.
However, Renaissance is a purely academic school meaning there is no sports team affiliated with our school (your student still has the option to be apart of their home school team). Due to this there is a lack of culture that your student might normally get at a “regular” highschool.

I have been to schools within West Ada for most of my schooling. The quality of schools has always been outstanding. For example, I am currently going to Rocky Mountain High School, and the quality of the building and facilities is just amazing. It really helps build the atmosphere and makes school infinitely more enjoyable.
This isn't the only positive aspect of it though, the teachers and staff have always been welcoming. I have only ever had good encounters with teachers, and when there is a bad teacher, the situation is resolved.
In the end, West Ada school district has been nothing but amazing.
