I am a former student of Millard West High School. I attended for three years and moved the summer before my senior year. While attending Millard West I never had any problems with staff or facilty. I had excellent teachers. I wouldn't change my experience there for anything. I am currently at a eastern Iowa high school. My current high school is very good but it isnt as clean as West, the art department doesn't have as much funding as Wests does, the teachers are good but West's are outstanding, both have great work out facilities and the lunches at West are way better than here in Iowa. West does an awesome job at giving several healthy options so you dont get stuck eating the same thing all the time and being an athelete it was easy to find good stuff to prepare me for practice. Maybe Im just bias but I think Millard West High School is the best of the three...now four...high schools in millard. GO WILDCATS! Close Quote
