My experience at Mankato West has had an extraordinarily strong impact in my life that I will carry with throughout my future.
Before the effects of the pandemic, it is a very close community with common goals and values to strive towards our own lives and our community as well. Many of the students and the teachers around the school have the "minnesota nice" trait where we all respect one another regardless of our differences which is something unique that can't be said about many places. They strive towards a better future that starts with our education that the teachers and principal aim to achieve which is a privilege to have that many don't have. It has many classes, clubs, and activities that aim to better our life-skills, help other students and people throughout our community, and helping prepare for our futures after high school. All with the intentions to help make our community a better place than it once was. Its a unique school in its own aspect and for these many reasons is why I would say its a very good school to excel as a student and a person.
Mankato West is a very good school in Minnesota and rated the best within its district. The sports, arts, and other activities available are all amazing and they offer a wide variety. As a current senior, I believe I had a great high school experience with many classes and activities to choose from. Even with the ongoing pandemic, faculty and administrators have been able to work with students to ensure the best learning environment they can create from home. Overall, Mankato West is an excellent school where students can learn, create, and be involved both at the school and within the community.
