Pretty decent I have no problems with anyone. And no one has problems with me.

The administration has NO CONTROL. Kids ditch campus during lunch on a regular basis. Fights are commonplace. Facilities are absolute garbage. Carpet hasn't been changed since the school's founding in 1970. Most of the bathroom's plumbing is broke. At the time of this writing, there is only like TWO resource officers for the entire school of 2,000+ kids. Safety is also an issue. Very open campus. Bathrooms are located outside the school and hallways remain unlocked throughout the day so that students can change classes, go to the restroom, etc.. This school would not hold up to an inspection ANYDAY. There are good kids and good teachers here. However, because of a lack of effective administration, rules, and respect, these people are very much in the minority. Something must be done. This is not a safe enviroment for ANYONE.

Most teachers are willing to help if needed especially in honors, GT, and AP courses!

extremely rude staff, rude to children and parents. The carpets have'nt been changed ever since the school was built and they are duct taped to the floor. Not to mention they don't vacuum the carpet THEY SWEEP IT. children and with teachers with allergies have been suffering because West Florence is too cheap to actually care for the school. The air vents are extremely dusty and aren't properly cleaned IN FACT they are whacked with a broom to get the "clumpy dust" out. the staff yells at parents and do not act like they care about the students. Very disappointed in this school.

Unprofessional Rude staff & teachers Theft Fights Poor academics From the beginning of the school year there has been one problem after another. Whether it has been with a teacher or a member of the faculty. Something needs to be done to better the academics and the teaching style. If you don't care about teaching then do not become a teacher. You're supposed to inspire not complain and dishearten your students. The students are absolutely out of control and basically run the school. Drugs are all around and no one seems to care to notice. It's horrific.
