School Reviews
5   1/6/2015
I believe that West Florence High School is an excellent school for students who are academically competitive. As any school, there are both students and teachers who are indifferent about their career or position, however, for the most part, there are many bright students and excellent teachers. With those who are encouraging, peers and administrators, the WF environment is great for anyone who has goals and determination. As far as social influence goes, the school is not very diverse. Cliques are distinguishable but you either belong in one or the other. Bullying may occur occasionally, but for the most part, many of the WF students would not allow such behavior towards their peers, friend or not. I am currently a senior at this school and I don't necessarily partake in the social patterns of my peers within the school walls, but from what I can observe as a young person, it is a pleasurable school. WF administrators, teachers, ad staff are all great people with large impacts.
