    Throughout my 4 years at West Campus High School, I have learned to appreciate the amount of student to teacher connection that is visible here. Students have access to contact teachers through google classroom, email, and after school hours. The culture and school spirit at West helps to involve all students to provide social experiences , such as our food fairs, rallies and other events, like club rush, movie nights and fundraisers for our school. I also feel that West campus does a superb job at preparing their students for how their experience with academics in college will be. The only downside to West campus is that there is not a wide range of classes to take while attending , West has more so of the basic classes necessary to graduate with A-G requirements.

    West Campus is a wonderful school. They have many AP classes you can take to help you be successful in college. Even the classes that are not AP still are college-prep classes because West Campus is a college-preparatory high school. There are many staff members that you can go to if you have a problem. They are very helpful. The rallies at West Campus is one of a kind. West Campus has the best rallies and other schools say this as well. It is very exciting and fun. The sports teams are also great. As a player for the women's varsity basketball team, I can tell you that you really are a family with your team. The men's soccer team won the NorCal championship. The women's varsity basketball team has won 3 sections championships, 3 NorCal championships, and 2 state championships . The campus may be small, however this allows everyone to know each other. Even though the past three years have been stressful and exhausting, I feel prepared for college.
    West Campus is a great college-preparatory school. The school's environment is competitive, academically and sports-wise. Everyone here is motivated, and deserves it's high ranking. It is easy to make friends at West, and challenges you to be the best student you can. The teachers here are all great, but some are amazing. Although West Campus doesn't offer many AP courses, every AP course here is taught by a teacher who pushes you to your limit for the AP exam. The counselors here are very helpful as well.
