West Lake Junior High or "WLJH" is a public junior high in West Valley City, Utah. It is located at 3400 South and 3450 West in the Granger region of West Valley City. The school belongs to the very large Granite School District, which covers a large portion of the Salt Lake Valley in Utah.

Background

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. They 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. They 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.

Promotion

Students of Westlake continue to either Hunter High School or Granger High School.
