Rating: (2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
First Impression - absolutely disgusting the amount of trash scattered on the school grounds.
Suggestion - if the faculty spent as much energy keeping the grounds clean as they have with the dress code, it would have been cleaned up months ago.

Take a drive up the entry way and look at the landscape to the right. Shame on you West High Faculty - let's hope the quality of education is better than the appearance.
