West Allegheny Senior High School Reviews

WAHS tries incredibly hard to prepare students for college, but actually ends up pushing students to dislike learning because of the workload that teachers press. "Reverse classroom" should not be a teaching method but a resource period; teachers shouldn't be paid for students to do their job. WAHS has an excellent football team and a truly passionate administrative staff, but the execution in what the administration wants to accomplish is wrong. Bullying is not online anymore! I often encountered sexist student handbook rules at my time at WAHS. The biggest example of sexism being so deeply ingrained at this school is watching male students parade the halls without a shirt at all or in a cut-off shirt, but not being able to wear spaghetti strap tops. My shoulders say absolutely nothing unprofessional about me. It is HOT outside! Why isn't it unprofessional to literally not wear a shirt?

During my years at West Allegheny, I made many friends not only with the student, but with the teachers also. Many of the teachers helped and encouraged students to do their best in their studies and also,in life. West Allegheny has influenced me to work harder and better than i have ever have before. The only thing that could be changed at West Allegheny is the food. The same type of food is offered everyday at lunch and does not look appetizing. Other than the food, my high school experience at West Allegheny was very enjoyable!
I had moved to West Allegheny School District during my Sophomore year of high school and had the best transition anybody could ask for. The teachers were amazing and very welcoming, they introduced me to everybody and treated me with the upmost respect. I believe the teachers had a lot to do with the easy transition that I had experienced because they made sure I got caught up, made sure all their students were up to date with all of the assignments and showed that they cared about all of their students. In my opinion, I would not change anything about the school because I am very happy pleased with how welcoming everybody was.
