Zeeland West High School Reviews
Rating 3.85 out of 5 205 reviews
The teachers at Zeeland West high school are great, but the students are horrible. Although there’s nothing anyone can do about the students, there are a few things that need changed. One of those is the bathroom pass. The pass is unnecessary because if a few students have to use the restroom, shouldn’t teacher decide how many can go at once, not a pass? With that, the pass was created so students wouldn’t skip class, but plenty of students use it to skip anyway. This leaves the students that actually need the pass suffering. Not only that, but the pass spreads a plethora germs. This is one example of the many things I’d like to see change.
My overall high school experience was decent. There aren't a lot of clubs to participate in. Zeeland West High School has a very high amount of students participating in sports, and as someone who doesn't play sports, it was hard for me to get involved in the high school experience. There is definitely a lot of support from the counselors to help you achieve the career you want after high school. I can not accurately rate the food at this school because I have never had it. I always packed lunch or went out. The atmosphere of the school is appealing. It is easy to navigate and get around. Zeeland West High School partners with Zeeland East High School to offer classes at both schools. There is a path between the schools that is wide open, so walking in the wintertime can be irritating, but manageable. Obviously, it can be a safety hazard because anyone can walk up to students during passing time, but I believe it to be a fire hazard if the path was enclosed.
Zeeland West High School makes students feel safe, valued, and loved, whether in the classroom or on the campus. The teachers are really personal with their students and go out of their way to make sure a student's needs are met. The staff are very approachable and show that they genuinely care about the student as a person, rather than a number in a classroom. I personally have had many teachers come up to me, as well as to other students, to ask what extracurriculars are going on in our lives, and when our next game/meet is so they can attend it. If they can't attend, they typically ask then how it went and what our highlights were that day. It makes students genuinely smile and get passionate about what's going on in their lives. The teachers at Zeeland West make me feel valued as a person, and have inspired me to be passionate about my purpose in life.
