School
background
West Lake Junior High is located at 3400 South and 3450 West. The school was
built in 1964. Students who attend West Lake come from the area approximately
bounded by 2100 South on the north, Redwood Road on the east, 3500 South on the
south, and 4800 West on the west. 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, Gear Up, 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 7-9.
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.
