West Florida High School/Technical

Posted: April 10, 2025

Sadly this school may seem like it’s great from the outside, but from the inside it is terrible. Most of the faculty should not work with young adults. They treat a lot of them as if they were inmates in a jail. Rather than listen and try to teach their students to better themselves they continue to harass certain ones cause they know they are bad kids and want to catch them. Some of these poor students have never even done anything yet are labeled. This is not a school that will prepare you for college. It’s a school that causes stress and makes students feel that faculty is there to torment them not help them.

I am going, to be honest, I did not have the best experience at WF. It never felt like a happy place to be. I have never been excited to go to school. I always dread going to school. It almost feels as if it is a jail especially with the new gate it just looks even more like one. It is a jail you go to for almost 7 hours a day and then you are released, and you feel free and happy again. That is probably what every high schooler says right? I have asked my fellow classmates both above me and below me and they all agreed with me. We "hate" West Florida. It has no life, fun, or school spirit. It is all structured, and bland. I'm not sure about how others may feel about school, but I believe it is supposed to be a fun and exciting place to be. One that you can't wait to go back to and be a teenager. That is just not the feeling I get being at West Florida High School of Advanced Technology. - I am writing this because most of the views are from an adults point of view well here is one from a students point of view.

Some are looking out for the students best interest, but sometimes it feels as if some teacher do not want us to pass. One teacher even said she did not believe anyone can receive a hundred. She even said this refering to a quiz.

Not leadership, we do not really have leadership at this school. Sure we have a leadership class and a Student Government Association, but we are lacking in leadership. Our guidance counselors are not people the students feel they can talk to about problems or even guiding. It's always about GPA, how your failing and not about why you are failing. No "What's going on at home" or "What happened with that test bud" or "How can I help you to improve". Even then they only care about who's failing their senior year of high school. Even disciplinary actions one kid felt sick and her mother had the child go to school to see if she feels any better. The child got a referral because they did not go to the nurse to call their mother because of "safety reason" and that the child was not "isolated" from the rest of the students. That's not even the craziest thing I have heard. They love to give referrals left and right. All they tell us is not to do something rather than how we can improve ourselves. It may seem like all they care about is the greatness of the students, but it really just seems like a face that is put on in front of the students. - I am writing this because most of the views are from an adults point of view well here is one from a students point of view.

The teachers at school love to assign homework that is both difficult and challenging to complete. This may seem like a good thing, however, they give no sympathy to those who have clubs, sports, after-school activities, jobs, or difficult home situations. They believe "well I gave it to you, and it is not completed therefore you get a zero". I have felt very stressed out because we are an "A" school and they expect more out of us from both faculty and staff.

That is not true. Most of the teachers do not have compassion for students. They do not care as to why the paper, project, assignment, or homework was late all they care about was that was late. Respect, The love teaching respect at West Florida High, however, it is more like their word is law, and if you do not follow said rules you are not being respectful. One thing they do right is teaching integrity. The students at WF are taught to have morals and to never bend them for anybody. We are be honest about everything. - I am writing this because most of the views are from an adults point of view well here is one from a students point of view.

We do not have many students with learning differences at West Florida, however, the ones we do have are always treated kindly and taken care of. - I am writing this because most of the views are from an adults point of view well here is one from a students point of view.

The teachers I have come in contact with exude the behavior themselves, so it translates better to the students.

My daughter is very involved in her high school and has always felt safe and accepted. It seems as though the kids here care less about the typical high schooler ideals and more about excelling in their academia/activities. With my daughter being somewhat 'nerdy', this is a great relief. The honors classes are challenging enough and after school activities are plentiful.
She also is on the Lacrosse team, which has been a blessing, given the coaching staff and program actually being there (Not all high schools have it and they welcomed girls with no previous experience.) All in all, I feel as though it is a great school.

My Daughter has been at WFH for a year and just started her second year. I have not been disappointed. I feel confident she is recieving and outstanding education! She speaks very highly of her teachers and remains very involved with an array of extra curricular activities. I don't hear from teachers as much, but they are very approachable.

I have to say that the teachers make this the best school in the area. My engineering teacher is the best and helps the students out with anything. WFHE is like family.
