My daughter attends Maryhill Midtown, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this…read moreschool. From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

For the record, it should be West Campus High School, not Hiram Johnson West Campus High School. We…read moreseparated ourselves from Hiram Johnson Main years ago, but for some reason, we're still associated with it. West Campus is its own school with its own independent scholastic program and achievements. This review is based on my experience at the school from 2003 to 2007, when John Becker was still the cool principal and vice principal Howard Mahoney struck fear into the hearts of students as he roamed the hallway with tedious dress-code checks, implemented during fall 2006. The school itself used to be a middle school campus, so it's smaller than your average high school. There's a few hallways and a portable classroom by the field on the edge of campus. Lockers were replaced sometime during 2005. Each class has about 200 students, all of whom must apply to the school. The selection process (which may have changed?) requires recommendations from middle school teachers, an evaluation of the student's standardized test scores, and copies of the standard forms and school transcripts. If you have a sibling already at the school, you have a higher chance of being admitted. The school lacked a football field. Instead, we had a huge baseball field towards the back of the school. Tennis courts were later built. The marching band pwned all :] I loved the music program at the school and it's all thanks to Mr. Ousley and Mr. Hernandez :] thank youu! There are bunches of clubs and sports for extracurricular activities. (I LOVE BAND!! WCMB!!) I adore most of the staff at the school. However, as with most administrations, there are a few disagreeable members :X Like what Kirsten said with her review, look at the college admittance rate for students from West Campus. They're all prepared for success in higher learning institutions.

Am i seriously the first to review here???…read more Take a look at all of the scores and rates about the students who go here who get admitted to college.... This school rocks. Each graduating class is about 200 people so it's definitely an intimate high school experience. The teachers really care about the students and are involved in their lives. If I ever (probably more likely that pigs would fly) have children and I'd want them to go to as fantastic of a school as this!

Not what I'd call the best school. I mean, c'mon, the campus is a literal road, apart from the…read moretrack, the basketball courts, the field, and the buildings. There are a few nice teachers I was lucky enough to end up with this year, but from what I've heard from others- and a bit from my personal experience, too- there are quite a few horrible people working at this school. The schedule planning seems like it would be a joke at first, but then you realize you're stuck sprinting up and down the stairs all day- last year I had a friend whose legs were constantly sore as he continuously had to travel from the first floor to the third and back down to the first, over and over again. All in three minutes. The campus security people blare their whistles in the echoey halls, one time my hearing in my left ear was temporarily damaged from it. There's bird crap everywhere, and nobody ever cleans off the tables, so if you just wanna sit down to eat like they're always screaming at you to do, you either run around, hopelessly trying to find a single spot where a bird hasn't done its business, or accept defeat and sit down in the disgusting substance in shame. There's so many bullies at school, constant fights breaking out left and right, all that's done about it is putting up anti-bullying posters or yelling at the people fighting to back off. I'm glad they at least break up the fights- the crowds clog up the tight halls- but seriously, could you not find ways to stop fights from happening, like teach people, I dunno, VERBAL COMMUNICATION? Which brings me to the topic of Restorative Justice, which from my experience, is a total joke. We form a circle, and then the teacher asks us things like what's our favorite candy bar, or what did we do over break. What justice does this restore? What's that even supposed to mean? If middle school is supposed to prepare us for high school, why are we spending time talking about chocolate rather than, gee, I dunno, using class time wisely so we don't get so far behind? Seriously, we get all these interruptions such as drills every month or so, and these RJ circles, we get really far behind- which is especially a problem in compacted math, as we've basically gotta do roughly 200% of a school year with only 100% of the time. Previously mentioned interruptions causes us to get tons of homework- you'll go a day with nothing to do at home but relax, then suddenly, 5 assignments due the next day that you've gotta pull of an all-nighter to complete on tie. People are so unmotivated to do the right thing at school, all they do is punish students with no rewards for good behavior. People brag about having C's and D's because they just can't care enough to do better. I've seen something growing inside the drinking fountains, and people rushing out of stalls without at least rinsing their hands, so that's a big no-no... now, this is all pretty bad, but there's some good as well. We are able to buy lunch at school (from what I hear it doesn't fill you up at all, but it's something), there are some very nice teachers who genuinely care about their students, and people who wanna make the school a better place... but it's just so awful that there's not really a way we can actually help it. I've been a member of the PTSA since I got here and found that it was available, and haven't seen any changes to the school being made, and the principal and vice principals seem to kinda wish we'd just go away, as they'll try to get something to work and show a lot of support, before yanking the rug out from under us and ruining it by incorrectly planning something or saying we can't do something or just not being able to help out. 2/5, wouldn't recommend.

This school, absolutely HORRIBLE! I wish I could give it 0 stars. I don't usually complain but this…read moreschool is unacceptable. The bathrooms are always locked and dirty, teachers are rude and don't care, once a student peed on his chair because the teacher didn't let him use the bathroom and the bathrooms were also all locked. Don't trust ur kids with the men there as well, I was touched inappropriately and nobody would believe me or listen. I was touched by not one but multiple. Ever since then I always wear baggy clothes that cover my body even though I already wore baggy clothes back then so nobody could blame it on what I was wearing. I'm telling you this school ruined my mental health badly and I never want to go back there ever again. And the social worker/social counselor doesn't care at all and she also twists my words and forces me to talk when I don't feel comfortable talking about something she wants to know, and she also promised not to tell anybody but then the whole office knew and both my parents, of course I didn't tell her remotely close to everything but some stuff were rlly private and it hurt when I found out practically everyone knew, I also told her about me being touched and she didn't really believe me and didn't do anything about it. I was also bullied and there was nothing done about it. I don't recommend this school at all please don't go here I'm begging you. PARENTS BE AWARE!!!

Be all in because now we're in a situation where we're being harassed by another student's parents.

Certain staff like to pretend to mentor the kids (when they're not even qualified to do so) just for whatever concerning discovery made not to be shared with the parent. They gossip about rumors instead of putting an end to em. I'm so sick of this place. The brunt of my negative experience is because of their doing. They put it all in motion for it to happen. My child witnessed something really traumatizing there and the aftercare was non existent. No offers for counseling. No calls to me when the police spoke to my child.
