West Lake STEM, Taylorsville | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I have two students that attend WLJH STEM, and our experience so far has been wonderful. The administration, faculty and staff are amazing and I know they are there to help my kids succeed. I enjoy coming to “mustang roundup” (parent teacher conferences) because they’ve set up a game plan to help not only our students understand some of the different concepts they’re working on, but parents too. If needed they have specific exercise/homework you can do at home to help your child get better grades, where they may be lacking. Another thing I appreciate is the communication between school & parent. I receive general communication (school updates through email, phone calls & social media) as well as (and what I love) specific communication about my children. Whether it is praise, or a call for help. I love that the school is on top of what is going on & lets their parents know. Yes, some conversations haven’t been the best to have from a parent perspective, but they’ve been conversations I’ve been grateful for. I also love the care many of the teachers have for their students. Genuine care. My daughter plays on the volleyball team & she mentioned to me the other day, how she loves that she sees so many teachers there after school to support their volleyball game. As a parent I don’t really notice who’s faculty, so for her to mention it, shows that she’s impressed that so many teachers care to show support for their students. I have also visited the school on many occasions & having my kids in a clean learning environment is important to me. I am happy that on those occasions I have visited WLJH the hallways & bathrooms are always clean & classrooms well kept, with updated material. I also love all the natural lighting that comes in the building. It’s really refreshing! And….I don’t see kids wandering the hallways sluffing. Super awesome! Great job WLJH I’m proud that my children are learning and growing in an incredible place!

Going there was actually my first time going to a Public school. By an honest review, I would not recommend it. The kids are very difficult to work around with when you are trying to focus. I am an 8th grader at West Lake STEM and I did not have a good experience. Now that it is a stem school, nothing has changed. The teachers are nice however, but it really is sad to know that it is such a disappointment. The subjects are way too easy to even be a challenge, and the kids are disrespectful. I grew up in a very strict school, and going here for the first time was a mistake. I would not recommend if you are a more middle or high class student, like me.

I remember my West Lake years… eww.. Nice School, Great Teachers, but kids… will be kids. That stage when kids are growing up, understanding that they’ll one day have to give up their childish ways, so they pretty much let it all out during class time. Since West Lake is living in an environment where kids might hang out with older/no good example people that may effect their lives, it is indeed pretty hard for the adults to manage to keep them all safe from bad influence. I’ll just point this out its not the adults fault if the kid makes stupid decisions, but it is the adults responsibility to lead & help the kid’s issues.
