West Catholic High School Reviews
Rating 4.2 out of 5 207 reviews
My family decided to send my brother and to West after a Charter school primary education. Our experience here has been profound and goes past academic pursuits. The culture is exceptional, and it is quite easy to be involved in extracurricular activities. Teachers’ virtues are staggered as some strive to improve their students’ understandings of content, while others are not concerned in the slightest. Overall, this school has proven exemplary.
Loved West Catholic. The teachers want you to succeed and the teacher-to-student ratio is really great. The athletics were also so much fun to be a part of and I really enjoyed working with WC's coaches. I feel like WC prepared me for college–so far some of my high school work was more difficult than my college work–and gave me skills to be able to communicate effectively, get my work done on time, and complete difficult tasks. I have made friends for life at this school!
Academically well-rounded with an abundant selection of classes for all 4 years, West Catholic is a good choice for those looking for an accredited high school education. With classes ranging from average/required classes all the way to advanced college courses, the school provides the necessary classes for all ranges of students. Providing many opportunities in and out of the classroom for learning, West is a good choice for those looking to exceed in their academics.
