This school is like any other average public school. Some teachers lack compassion but then there…read moreare certain ones that go above and beyond. I did notice with my niece going here last year that the schools substitutes teachers lack in education. Every time there was a substitute the children were left with no directions or help and it was basically fend for yourself. The 8th grade math teacher was AMAZING and would set up after school meetings to help the children better understand the topic they were focusing on at that time. One of the English teachers I was very disappointed in. Throughout the year I sent about 10 messages asking for clarification on subjects to better help my student which NON were replied to. I had to do my own research to help her better understand what the hell was going on. Some of the projects were so off topic that we were both left puzzled and without help since the teacher wouldn't reply. There are steps that need to be addressed to make the teachers better for our students as our students are the future.

The third grade team was by far the best having such collaboration between teachers it was tough to know which one I was supposed to see for conferences. What a great school. It is a shame that the district and local families do not seem to realize the diamond they have in there local community.

I can't believe he is still employed there after all I have witnessed and heard from other parents. I would HIGHLY recommend shopping around for other places for your student to go to high school.

At 2:57 PM, when my son got out of school, I called the front office to let them know I was going to be late due to attending a funeral. I asked Gianna in the front office what time the office closed, and she informed me it stayed open until 3:45 PM. I told her I would get there as soon as possible, considering I was coming from over an hour away on the other side of town. I was rushing through traffic trying my best to get to my son. When I arrived, Mrs. Tallman immediately began shaking her head at me and telling me I did not give the school enough notice, that staff members had family meetings, and that she personally had to cancel a meeting because of my lateness. She also stated, "We are not your babysitter," directly in front of my son. I understand being late can inconvenience staff, and I take accountability for arriving after the office closing time. However, I had communicated ahead of time due to an unexpected life event, and this is not a repeated issue for me. The most I have ever been late before was 15-20 minutes due to traffic in Colorado. What upset me most was the manner in which this situation was handled. I felt publicly scolded and judged as a mother in front of my child, rather than spoken to respectfully and privately. Life circumstances happen, and while I understand school policies must be followed, I believe this could have been addressed with more professionalism, understanding, and compassion.

This was an absolutely beautiful establishment, almost too good to be true. When my team and I…read morewalked in we thought that it was a Rec Center because the gyms were so beautiful and so sleek and shiny. There was this amazing track held around the top of the gym, so if I wanted to I could have done a few convenient laps. The track team was practicing up there and I just thought about how absolutely amazing that was because It was cold outside, so their track team better be pretty great this year. We're rooting for you Greeley west track team!!! When I was sitting on the gyms bleachers as I watched my school take the last winning shot and won, I just realised how nice and roomy the gyms were and how the blue color they used was absolutely extravagant. They couldn't have gone with any other color. OHHH BUT THE BATHROOMS!!!!! They were extraordinarily gorgeous. We walked into the bathroom to be greeted by fountains of water coming from all directions, and crystal clear mirrors, which we got an amazing mirror pic in! When I sat on that toilet I felt like I was going into another world it was such a great experience. I personally don't think any other school is gonna beat how nice this school building was!! Peace and love!! Thanks for having us!! -Anonymous

As a former student at Greeley West High School I can say that this school is definitely a horrible…read moreschool. I was a transfer student from a different district. Comparing GWHS to the school I transferred from and to the school I go to now which is in the same district, GWHS just fails at everything! The students either ditch class, vape in class, not pay attention to the teacher or just just sleep in the classroom. The male bathroom was just a vape party people going into stalls and vaping then coming out and handing one to there friend and vape. Most of the teachers just didn't care or gave up. An example I had is when a math teacher left because so many students didn't bother to learn, it was so sad seeing a handful a students paying attention. I had the worst time there. I am thankful that I go to a better school, where teachers put in the effort to teach. I would highly recommend that you do not enroll your kid in this school.
