I remember growing up down the street from west and always being excited when my older brothers had to take me up to Bellevue West with them! Finally it was my time to go but i found out we would be moving even though i went there for only a month it was some of the best experiences of my life!! When i got to my other school in CO in couldn't even compare to West and will never i would go back in a heartbeat. West was the only school i ever felt safe and comfortable in it met my high expatiation West as a variety of things others schools dont if your missing assignments it required for you stay after school so you dont fall behind. The school as a TERRIFIC theater department and a built in mechanic working place! And there athletics are the BEST IN THE STATE class A!

Bellevue West is one of the premier schools in Nebraska. West offers a mutitude of classes in a variety of subjects. The teachers are excellent and the non-teaching staff is always nice and very efficient. Mr. Rolfs, the principal, is very personable and truly cares about the students in his school. The extracurriculars at West are some of the top in the state. West is known for its powerhouse basketball (boys and girls), football, volleyball, and drill teams (boys and girls). Overall, Bellevue West is an excellent school that is more than capable of providing and educational experience that few can exceed.
