I was not feeling well and told my homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher told me to drop out and get a GED if I was not able to focus and concentrate on my studies. I visited the school counselor the same day after class and told her I did not feel well mentally and felt depressed. The counselor told me to get more organized. A few days later I ended up in the ER for unexplainable weight loss from 190 pounds down to 114 pounds with in a short period of time (like a week). At this point I was fighting for my life. I did tell my family that I wasn't feeling well and what happened at school immediately after speaking to my teacher and counselor. I was so out of it when I arrived home to the point that my family was scared and rushed me to the hospital. It had taken me about 20 years to get well and relearn everything that we as humans take for granted. I am writing this post because this school has been on a downward spiral since day 1!

This school seems to baby sit high schooler than teach them. My kid teacher literally refuses to send homework home even though he needs the extra help and her decision is backed by the district. I have been told to go buy my own workbooks to work him from home. So parents never know what the kids are learning in school.

If I could give no stars, I would. This school is a joke and don't take threats and the safety of the students seriously. When there is a gunman on school grounds and children are running and screaming, it is school related, unlike the email that was sent out after the fact that said it wasn't. The school was told about these threats for at least a day before hand and they sent out an email to parents stating that they were just threats and not to worry. The next day, a man with an automatic rifle is at the school.
My child, who is an honor roll student, was hit by some kid that was in a fight with a different kid as she was trying to get to another student who was giving her information that she missed while she was out sick. I went up to the school and all they were worried about was the fact that she was not at her next class and next to the fight. She had to defend herself against the Assistant Principle and like 4 other staff who were in this room with us.
And they are more worried about students being in dress code and having their phones than they are anything else.
My oldest daughter has been trying to talk to the counselor about moving her classes into the 11th grade class because the ones she is in, she has already taken. She has been trying for months. Finally, the counselor told her to come see her about it and when she did, the counselor was off and knew she would be off.
My oldest is also taking college classes at Hutchins and that is the only thing that keeps her motivated at all. Both my kids are terrified to go to school and I am terrified to send them. I cannot count on this school to keep my kids safe or tell the truth when something happens. Absolute terrible school and staff!

No there is a fight every week and the "Discipline Task Force" is nothing but brutes that will slam you into walls the police are nicer to us than them. Kids hate each others guts if they aren't friends or of the same mind and the Admins won't listen to our concerns.
Posted: November 28, 2018
If homework is given or not forgotten by the teachers it's practically useless as more work is crammed into our minds and most general knowledge is lost throughout the day.
Posted: November 28, 2018
Some are great teachers but the majority aren't the online classes take up 90% of the work and tell me how to learn AP Chemistry on a computer.
Posted: November 28, 2018
No most kids will fight over a single word no one here wants to stay we break state records in fights.
Posted: November 28, 2018
Morality is extremely low with constant fights even among the staff new teachers quit after the first year and they are more worried about rules then they are effectiveness of the school itself.
Posted: November 28, 2018
No it's just a straight path of know it or fail.

If I had a option between 1-10 it will always be a 1 this school needs to change l.

You can't understand teachers or students most of the time due to Ebonics and very poor grammar. No good example being set.
Posted: August 20, 2018
MOST Teachers are racist AND speak very poor grammer. I dont understand how they are allowed to teach. My daughter tried for 2 weeks to get into ROTC in the allotted time, but Counselors and teachers ignored her and then said she was out of time.
Posted: August 20, 2018
Absolutely horrible and honestly they need to revamp all teachers to people who care for anyone, no matter there race and speak clear correct grammer

My school expirence is terrible. If your schedule is wrong they take forever to fix it and they believe coming to school sick is more important than staying home and getting better. They also do not communicate certain information very well.

There is just enough homework to do. I come home, And complete homework with EASE. AP Classes are a different story, As Homework is essential.
Posted: August 15, 2015
The teachers and Administrative staff make sure to keep the students engaged in learning, and college or career ready. Hah, It's what I hear in the announcements EVERY morning. It's worth hearing if it means a successful life.

The school is an amazing overall school. The teachers put forth so much effort into their students, All of them treating them like their own little kids. Which is awesome. Mr. Womack and Mr. Scott in the spotlight here, Hehe.
The Football team, Marching band, And all others are very well skilled. They all put hard work, and dedication into what they do, Which should be celebrated in my opinion.
Are you having doubts about westside? Don't. It's amazing as it is.
