West Middle School has a long and storied history, dating back to 1924. Our school has been integral to the Westside community and Old Colorado City for almost 100 years. We offer comprehensive middle school programming with opportunities designed to meet the individual needs of all students. West's small school atmosphere is said to be the best-kept secret on the Westside.
