I taught here for a year and this school is a mess. The only students who are getting anything good out of this school are the ones in IB and their experience is totally different than that of the other students. The ESL and SPED programs are not bad, but not great either because of a lack of funding and a lack of people caring about these programs. This is not to say that no one cares, but not enough people do.

West is a pretty good school if you have the right teachers. some teachers are better than others. a lot of west if how involved you are. your golden if your in IB, AP, in a play or play a sport. so to a degree is a joke. but what about the other students? they get screwed. if your not in any of these programs you can forget an equal education. there is no such thing. i watch many of my class mates fall threw the cracks of the system and no one cared. but if they would have been in the "right programs" the out come would have been different. For the most part i liked west, but enough is enough. When does everyone get a equal education? i wasn't in IB, AP, i wasn't in a play, i did play a sport, and i felt like my education suffered. I took AP classes for half of a semester my junior year and was treated horribly by classmate who thought they were better then me. i wasn't about to take that from anyone. it wasn't worth it. and that is West in a nutshell.

This school is overcrowded and full of troublemakers who make it their daily duty to make sure no one learns anything. Student motivation is at rock bottom. Teachers spend a lot of time just trying to get the class under control so very little time is left for actual teaching. The word "school" in this context is non-literal or figurative. An embarassment to the local community.

We love Greeley West High School. Our oldest daughter left a Charter School to attend the IB Program and to get better coaching in athletics. Our daughter is now on a full ride volleyball scholarship and is on the Academic Athletic Dean's List . Our youngest daughter is in her second year and loves going to high school everyday and is doing very well. We feel that the teachers really try to encourage the children to do their best by challenging them and making the classes fun. Mr. B. Wright the principal has made such a positive difference in the school by making the teachers and the kids accountable for their actions. He has encouraged a positive relationship with the students and the staff by getting everyone involved. He himself gets very involved. GW also has a strong Parent Booster Club that supports athletics and clubs.
