A great school with lots of available and ready resources to help students strive in school. The school takes a lot of action to help students have a safe and learning ready environment, a good example exists as the COVID-19 outbreak leading to sanitization of the school and currently a shutdown until April 24. Many of the teachers make strong connections with their students, which is challenging as there's 1,300+ students that currently attend West Seattle High School. The school offers plenty of clubs and extracurricular activities open to all. An accepting school that cares for its students, West Seattle High School strives to give their students an education they deserve.
I've had a great experience attending West Seattle High School. Coming from such a small community in my previous school, I was welcomed in my new city with open arms. The staff at West Seattle are all very kind and truly care about all the students. If a student was failing a class, or showed signs of needed help, the teachers and faculty members would be right on it to make sure that the student succeeds in their journey through high school. Along with all those benefits, the school sports is very active and encouraging. All the sports events are filled with excitement and fun!
At West Seattle High School I made many new friendships and had some amazing teachers, especially in the History Department, but it seems that many of my classmates had different feelings about this school. I made some great memories at this school and a few mistakes, but in all I'm glad i went to West Seattle and didn't waste my parents money at a private institution.
