Students are very happy attending West Phoenix High School since the teachers know them by name, they can choose morning or evening classes, and the way they can receive the help they need in a safe school. Parents expressed the school is wonderful and that the school is a second chance for many students that were going to drop out of school or were doing so poorly in traditional that they were not going to graduate. The caring learning environment is helping students succeed. Only a couple of students were not happy with the school, but did not mention specific reasons.

The percentage of students that passed the AIMS series of exams was very low, but you must remember that many of the students attending the school are behind on credits, failing traditional school, or dropped out of school. All percentages were below state average in all core subjects.

It would be a good idea to take a tour of the school and talk with other parents to make sure this is the best school for your child.
