School background
West Lake Junior High School was built in 1964. The school is located in the heart of West Valley City. The school has 64 classrooms, including eight relocatable classrooms and a Parent and Family Center. West Lake is a Title One school and receives additional funding from Highly Impacted Schools and Schools for the 21st Century. These grants allow West Lake to reduce class size, offer after-school and summer programs, and additional opportunities for our students, faculty, and community.
Enrollment
West Lake serves approximately 1,117 students in grades seven through nine. Students come from many parts of the world, creating a rich diversity amongst our student body. A majority of the school staff is ESL endorsed and/or trained in Sheltered English Strategies.
Computers and technology
West Lake has a computer network system that is accessed by every classroom in the building. The Media center is a central lab that can be used by all students for research, with access to online information and many other library systems. The school has a series of labs throughout the building designed to enhance the curriculum and are also used for testing purposes. We have three laptop computer carts (with wireless Internet access) that teachers can check out and use in their classroom. West Lake has a small studio where student video broadcasts are created and shown during the morning announcements. We have grades, attendance and student information on the Internet for parents. Parents can come to the Parent and Family Center and access their student’s grade and attendance information.
Student promotion
Students promoted from West Lake will attend Granger High School.
