WAHS puts a lot of emphasis on class pride and school spirit. Most if not all teachers are willing to go the extra mile for students, especially those who struggle but are outright zealous to learn. On top of that, there's always group, club, or activity where people can find a place. Hopefully, in the future, there will be more collaboration between grades that allow students, specifically underclassmen, to give them a better chance at immersing themselves in the opportunities provided earlier, as the environment can be difficult to navigate at times.
West Albany High school was overall a great place to be for four years. The academics and clubs/activities are all above average due to a dedicated staff and culture of pride. The physical building is old and shabby, but a new one is being built!
West Albany high school is known as the rich kid school, and it lives up to the name. West has snobby rich kids that will treat you like trash if you don't drive a brand new BMW. Our athletics take place over everything, nobody care about the art kids, music or anything else. Sports are the main event here, they'd much rather produce a D1 athlete than a academic genius here. Many students do and can get away with coming to classes high, and vaping in class. Now i do have to say all the teachers here are excellent, they really care about the students that actually put time and effort into their school work. Overall west Albany high school is the better school in the greater Albany public school district, it is not the best school in oregon.
