(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - West Middle School may have many programs for students, but I have never hated a school this hard in my life. The students have tight cliques and the teachers may help you a bit but, they don't listen to you. I know some students may like it there. But I know for a fact that many students there are either, failing, depressed, or getting harassed by other students. Truly, I hate this school.
