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.
Great school! I only wish there was a more diverse faculty. Also I wish the faculty better prepared on how to navigate college, exposed us to more scholarships/ fellowships, and advised us more.
