For the record, it should be West Campus High School, not Hiram Johnson West Campus High School. We…read moreseparated ourselves from Hiram Johnson Main years ago, but for some reason, we're still associated with it. West Campus is its own school with its own independent scholastic program and achievements. This review is based on my experience at the school from 2003 to 2007, when John Becker was still the cool principal and vice principal Howard Mahoney struck fear into the hearts of students as he roamed the hallway with tedious dress-code checks, implemented during fall 2006. The school itself used to be a middle school campus, so it's smaller than your average high school. There's a few hallways and a portable classroom by the field on the edge of campus. Lockers were replaced sometime during 2005. Each class has about 200 students, all of whom must apply to the school. The selection process (which may have changed?) requires recommendations from middle school teachers, an evaluation of the student's standardized test scores, and copies of the standard forms and school transcripts. If you have a sibling already at the school, you have a higher chance of being admitted. The school lacked a football field. Instead, we had a huge baseball field towards the back of the school. Tennis courts were later built. The marching band pwned all :] I loved the music program at the school and it's all thanks to Mr. Ousley and Mr. Hernandez :] thank youu! There are bunches of clubs and sports for extracurricular activities. (I LOVE BAND!! WCMB!!) I adore most of the staff at the school. However, as with most administrations, there are a few disagreeable members :X Like what Kirsten said with her review, look at the college admittance rate for students from West Campus. They're all prepared for success in higher learning institutions.

Each graduating class is about 200 people so it's definitely an intimate high school experience. The teachers really care about the students and are involved in their lives.

When I went to the office about what they did to me, all the school did was put me in a free period so I wasn't in their class anymore. These retired AF men should NOT have been teaching children and they owe so many kids an apology. We were teenagers, not real recruits. The school was not supportive of their LGBTQ students at the time. Like not at all. The one obviously gay teacher was treated terribly by both students and some teachers. I felt bad for him every single day. I respected him. He taught me how to make a resume. There was a kid who so obviously needed help. He was bullied and it broke him down. The school didn't do enough to help him. He got so depressed and so bullied by others, that he eventually made a comment that insinuated violence towards those bullies. The school just expelled him. That's all they did. Has the school changed? Are the students getting the support they need now? Do the students have a safe and effective way to report bullying? I hope so.
