Western High School

"HORRIBLE SCHOOL...DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN THERE. I WAS WARNED BY DOZENS OF PEOPLE NOT TO SEND MY CHILDREN TO THE SCHOOL DIDN'T LISTEN. THEY HAVE A HORRIBLE FACULTY AND HORRIBLE STUDENTS. MY CHILD IS AN HONOR ROLL STUDENT WITH EXCELLENT CITIZENSHIP..BUT SHE HAS BEEN HARRASSED BY THE STUDENTS( BOTH MALE AND FEMALE) AND FACULTY ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS SINCE SHE STARTED SCHOOL THERE IN FEBRUARY. IT'S JUST SICKENING. I WOULDN'T SEND MY WORST ENEMY TO THIS SCHOOL. I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE SCHOOL BOARD ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS...WITH NO ONE COMPLYING AND NO RESULTS! I AM TRANSFERRING SCHOOLS AS WE SPEAK."

"I wouldn't even give it a star if possible the administration is rude and they don't get anything done unless you "motivate" them, the teachers aren't half qualified to teach and they let kids jump other kids without consequences"

"Class of '71....it was a terrific school back then. While other high schools were beginning to have racial problems in 1970-1971, WHS had somehow been immune up to that point. Our student body was just as diverse as any other. I'm not sure why we didn't have the fights break out on our campus. I remember a sign, later photographed for the yearbook that said it all: Peace On Earth and Western, Too. It was a great time to be a Western Warrior."

"The staff and the Deans office are absolutely no help and of no good use for parents or students!! If I could file a complaint I would. I contacted the Deans office in the morning one day to let them know my daughter felt threatened. They didn't even respond and within a couple of hours, my daughter called me crying because she had to fight. They should be liable, especially when I had contacted them. They are a very non caring school and have no compassion at all! They are just there for a check."
