I was employed at this school and was saddened by the lack of quality teaching and learning. It's a great place to live but if I were a parent, I would homeschool to avoid sending my student here. So much of what I saw was completely unacceptable. The parents should collaborate to demand changes. 25 years ago it was a good school. Now, everything except the new addition is outdated... that same carpet is there, and so are many of the teaching practices.

This school has a huge problem with bullying and drama. The Staff does nothing about it as they only care about the students who play sports, and pay little attention to anyone else. Probably the reason why many kids end up transferring to east. My kids no longer attend this school.

Favouritism goes hard here. They care more about their sports and money than they do your feelings. There is always poop on the bathroom walls.

As a parent with a child on an IEP, I would not want to be anywhere else. Very responsive, superb educators.

It boils down to the fact that you have to be involved.

Teachers and administration have been outstanding. If you as a parent are involved then you will have no issue.

This school is unique in every way. I couldn't be more proud to be Thunderbird. The teachers at this school actually CARE about the students. I'm currently a student at West in my junior year. While my friends that attend other schools are stressing about their junior year, basically drowning in their grades and homework, I'm loving it thanks to my teachers. I'm involved in Advance Placement classes and these teachers make school enjoyable. I stumbled upon this site doing homework for my English class. Homework that I was deeply invested in. I'm also involved in the choir program and, not exaggerating, we have been labeled the best choir and show coir in Nebraska. Vocals at this school are very strong and the teachers create a family-like environment which keeps me coming back to the room 424. Some of my best friends are in the band and they are phenomenal. ROTC, DECA, FBLA, NHS, sports, academics, and SO much more are offered at this school. Even a model airplane club and robotics club- there's something for everyone! I'm very proud of my school and that's not something every teen says. If you get the chance to enroll at Bellevue West, you won't regret it. Ever.
