- Over 400 AP tests were given to our students, in 20 different subjects.
- WJHS scored above the Kentucky and Global averages in 14 of those 20 and above either the KY or Global average in 3 others.
- Overall, 77% of our students scored a 3 or higher (passing score) on their exam.
Well done AP students and our instructors!
Nothing says summer cleaning like the smell of fresh wax! Shout out to our custodial crew who is making sure West High is ready for the new school year, in just over a month!
They detail every piece of furniture and remove it from the classrooms, scrub every floor, stairs, bathroom, lay fresh wax, and even give the gym for a facelift.
Thank you, Colt Custodians!
