West Ridge School | Calgary Board of Education - Calgary

Excellent school, helpful teachers who will go out of the way for the benefit of their students.

Very good school. Good environment for learning, helpful teachers, and the principal is very professional and helpful.

Very good learnig envroniment and such friendly teachers!

I’m coming next year what’s it like?

the chicken was uncooked and unseasoned would not eat here again. bathroom smelled like bluerazz.

Both my niece and my stepson just left this school last year, and you could say I am extremely dissatisfied. The education at this school is very poor and although some of the teachers were decent, I felt like certain staff members had no sense of priorities, and were too concerned with small affairs to be able to focus on the larger incidents and mental health of the students. The teachers are also biased toward a few students, and tended to focus on the reputation of the peers and make assumptions based on past occurrences instead of assisting the overall mental health of the young people attending this school. There were numerous instances of privacy violations among the staff, and even though they may have the right intent, their method of going about to solve said issues was entirely time consuming and fatiguing for the parents, faculty members, and the students. It was a fairly stressful environment and my niece came to me one day and shared that she felt uncomfortable in her body because of the clothing she was told not to wear, and I understand and can respect the intent and the need for the students to be following the rules, but I believe that it causes students to be self conscious about themselves when their sense of individuality that would normally be expressed through their choice of clothes is taken away. Both my niece and my stepson withstood long interrogation-like conversations with the staff about mental health and self harm, where it made them feel bad about themselves because they were shamed for their harmful coping methods, instead of presenting the students with new, safe coping methods for when they are dealing with personal issues in life. I would not recommend this school.

I do food delivery and I really appreciate how the employees in the main office treated me specially one of the ladies she made sure to ask how was my day and how was my work going I felt she genuinely care. It's hard now days to find kindness without interest in something I really appreciate it. You guys rock Thank you Walid Halabi

Great school. I’ve been going here since Grade 5 and now I’m in grade 9 and it’s been a great experience. Most teachers are friendly and teach great. Although the phone policy is slightly too strict and some teachers take it even more seriously. I was taking my phone out of my locker to take outside off campus which we are aloud to do, and some teacher took my phone to the office. This happened twice to my friends as well with the same teacher. But overall a good experience.
