I transferred there from a smaller charter school therefore I was very concerned about class size, safety and just being overwhelmed. At West Ashley High School I felt safe. The class size although larger than what I was accustomed to was not intimidating. The students and faculty were friendly. I felt challenged academically. Even though there were many students trying out for the sports I played at my charter school, I was worried that I would not have an opportunity to play sports or make a team. At West Ashley, I tried out for several sports and was selected based on my athletic ability. My guidance counselor, Mrs. Estes, was also amazing!
Great! All of the teachers are amazing, and the students are really nice too. I came when the school year started in August, and I have to say that it is rather great. The teachers really try to help you learn and pass. They don't try to give you work and don't care if you fail or not, they actually care and want you to pass. They go to measures so you can pass. Not to mention the school events and clubs are pretty awesome too!
I enjoy going to West Ashley. I love the teachers and the workload is bearable: barely any homework. Only problem is the occasional problem with dangerous occurances such as broken AC units causing smoke in the building or students bringing weapons or drugs to school, and when those things happen they are always dealt with very swiftly and carefully in my opinon. Most of the teachers seem to really care about their work and their students.
