When your child first get admitted you feel elated with the hope that now your child will be thriving in an academically nurturing environment.
While that may be the case for some, others get dismissed and ignored. I'm sad to say that over the years we've had mostly negative experiences with the school. I have a child who is straightforward learner and I have a child who is not. This school is not at all for the latter. There are a few good teachers here, some very nice, but the majority have no accountability or communication skills.
This school expects academic excellence, the same should be expected from the teachers. How else will it work? Students in high school are ok, the middle school students are mostly brats/bullies. There was one loud, arrogant kid who seemed to be the only one called upon in the zoom classes. Overall this school doesn't offer a healthy learning environment. The custodian staff and a few of the front desk staff are great!

As a NWC student I got As and Bs at New West, but the teaching is uninspired except for a few standout teachers. There is no initiative to put our learning to praxis. The uniforms are validated by teachers who tell us that if we don't buy 40$ polos, kids will be classist and bully each other. The kids bully each other anyway, micro aggressions are heard every day targeting latinx students, muslim students, transgender students, female students and more. Instead of teaching children how to respect and communicate with their peers the administration uses their authority to make children resort to subvert forms of bulling. Teachers don't listen to and respect students creates an environment of students unable to listen to and respect each other or teachers. The arts education is majorly lacking. Kids are not supported in their goals. The mental health support is a joke. Seniors cannot leave campus, and the campus is a parking lot. Shoutout to good teachers, Lewis, Nevins Mr.Latin
New West Charter is a very strong school academically. The majority of New West teachers have a great reputation throughout the school for being committed to their students and dedicated to putting together excellent lesson plans. In turn, the students work hard in classes and each year New West seniors are admitted into phenomenal colleges. However, New West Charter has plenty of room for improvement. Students and teachers alike feel as though the administration is unorganized, and it is clear that the administration prioritizes academics over student life and the needs of the students. With a growing student population every year, New West Charter still lacks adequate mental health resources, college counseling facilities, a strong physical education department, a diverse selection of electives and extracurricular clubs, and a student government to oversee student affairs.
