Considering West Park is a newly-built school, I know that there are limitations in regards to the availability of classes. However, I have heard multiple complaints, including myself, about the class selection provided by the school. There are some classes that are taught by teachers who do not have previous experience in that subject (some current and upcoming AP classes) and many students feel academically unstable in those classes. I think that there should be more classes available to students that lead toward certain professional fields, with teachers who have experience teaching those classes. Furthermore, the math department in West Park is inadequate for all levels. Most units feel rushed and the practice questions that are given to students are significantly easier than the tests and quizzes. I appreciate that the math teachers are knowledgeable and are sophisticated in mathematics itself, but there seems to be a trend among students who claim that they simply cannot teach. This is supported by the low scores seen across all math classes. Lastly, the social environment of the school is very poor. There are groups of students who are constantly rude and disruptive, and they seem to be staff favorites just because they are well-known and animated. There are clear social superiorities at this school. I have personally experienced a few insults or "teasing" situations in the years I've attended West Park. This isn't necessarily the school's fault, but I do recognize that the culture in this area is different from previous places I've lived. I wouldn't recommend this school to students who dislike cliques, similar to the ones portrayed in the media. Entitled "popular" kids, "weird" artsy kids, "nerdy/geeky" kids-- these labels do not sit right with me, but it is sad to see that this is how students categorize themselves into a specific group at West Park.

I would not reccomend this school to anyone, especially if you are planning to major in a stem field like engineering due to how bad Westparks math department is. An IM3 teacher had to go and run quickly to a stats teachers classroom just because she did not know how to teach the material which could hinder students learning. Additionally, another IM3 teacher got fired from his class since his fail rates where high and students cannot understand the material due to his poor teaching. Precalc students also have the same struggles, most of the students are failing and what you learn in class is barely applicable to that on the tests. (Ex: learned about the graphs of sine and cosine, and the test gave us an application problem, which we barely covered in class.) Finally, a decent chunk of math teachers just dont teach and just let the students figure the math on their own which some of their excuses were about how the school is meant to function.If any staff member from WP is reading this,PLEASE HIRE ACTUAL GOOD MATH TEACHERS WHO ACTUALLY HAVE THE WILL TO TEACH!

The teachers can be hit or miss. The school usually makes dumb decisions, such as the fact that they give therapy polls to only the freshmen and juniors, which is stupid. Worst part is the students. So much toxic jocks who want attention. I don’t feel safe The counselors act like they care, but they’ve never helped me cope with this stupid school. There’s constant cutting in the lunch line. There’s no privacy. Don’t go to this school. You won’t be safe or learn anything. Won’t recommend.

The Math department is incompetent . Most of the teachers in that department cant teach or dont teach at all (Only 5 people out of 30ish students in an IM3 class passed.) and most people taking Precalc are failing due to it. Additionally, the admin does a poor job at handling issues such as bullying. And also why do they call their schedule a “Master Schedule” they keep constantly changing it and changing it.
