It's a great time to explore West Bloomfield School District! Our high school offers an unparalleled program of studies, from 27 advanced placement courses, to award-winning music programs, a wide variety of career and technical education programs ranging from architecture to Robotics, over 50 student-initiated clubs and activities, 33 sports, 58 teams and so much more. West Bloomfield High School has an estimated enrollment of 1820 in grades 9-12. The traditional high school offers a comprehensive curriculum with emphasis on a college preparatory and career education program. WBHS is accredited by AdvancED-North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA-CASI).

In addition to our comprehensive high school, we also offer two innovative programs that meet the needs of high school students in different ways. Please see below for a description of Laker Opportunity Center alternative education program that uses a hybrid approach to help students earn a real high school diploma. We also offer Oakland Early College, where students are dual enrolled in high school and at Oakland Community College for free.

"West Bloomfield is a lively community that offers many opportunities for student engagement. The high school has a wide variety of classes from business, art, science, politics, language, computers, engineering, architecture and many AP classes to help students learn of their interests as well as clubs, sports, after school events and more. Along with the opportunities, West Bloomfield has a very diverse group of peers of different cultures and religions. My school is known for its outstanding athletic department as well. There are many staff available to help students from college counselors, teachers, advisors, normal counselors and more." - senior

"I've been going to West Bloomfield High school since kindergarten, the school district is a solid choice with many opportunities for students to grow." - junior

"The high school administration does a great job of having many clubs and other extracurricular activities available. It's also reasonably easy to create your own club or afterschool activity. Teachers offer many opportunities to seek help with classes through teacher tutoring, student-to-student tutoring, and messaging apps for students to ask questions outside of school hours. The administration also does a great job making sure everyone feels like they belong, offering guidance from school counselors who are open to appointments to discuss school and home life." - alum

At Oakland Early College, we do school differently; through our partnership with Oakland Community College, we provide an early middle college experience where OEC students are simultaneously enrolled in high school and college classes at no cost to families. All students in 9th through 11th grade whose families reside in Oakland County can apply. Here, students earn transferable college credits, up to an associate's degree, that will follow them to a four year university. There is also an option to earn a work certificate through one of OCC’s many programs. All students are supported by our tenets of college, culture, community, and connection in a small and diverse school community while they progress through our five year high school program.

Laker Opportunity Center offers an alternative learning experience for those that have struggled in the traditional learning environment and need credit recovery. Laker Opportunity Center offers students the opportunity to complete high school and graduate with a diploma. Our school leaders help select the right learning mode for each student. The program is open to all students in the State of Michigan who are 16-22 years old. Learn more on their facebook page or https://www.wbsd.org/lakeroppcenter.
