Going on twelve years of being a jaguar and all of my years I have never really had a teacher that I absolutely did not like. There were a few that I've butted heads with but even then, they still provided the same amount of compassion that they'd give to even their favorite student. If there were one thing I'd like to change about the highschool it would have to be within the selection of classes offered. I've always dreamed of learning some latin. Unfortunately, at my high school there are only two languages to chose from. I wish there were more options when it came to that department, but overall I am still very happy with my school!

West Jefferson Hills is a great district. The schools offer many experiences and opportunities for students. However, the schools can definitely improve involvement and service within the community. I think the school is definitely getting better in lacking areas like diversity, but as always, it could be better.

They administration really doesn’t care about the education and readiness of students. It feels as if they only care about looking good to parents and people outside of the district. I highly regret moving here, and I wish I could go back to my old school. Most of the teachers are really nice, and are willing to help you, but a lot seem like they’re just there for the paycheck and they care about nothing else. Also, the food is more than terrible, it doesn’t look or taste edible.
