    I mean most middle schools aren't the best, but I really disliked this one. I went to Chapman Elementary school, where most people were very nice and compassionate, and it was very shocking going to West Sylvan after that. The kids and parents are very entitled, insensitive, and immature for their ages and it was not a good experience.

    Trash! Very racist kids that don't have any idea what they are doing at school. Not diverse and not safe. Do not even think about bringing your child here.
    I am a student here and I would NEVER recommend bringing your child here. There are lots of white and privileged kids here that are super racist and teachers dont do crap about it.
