GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Westland is very diverse, especially with all the clubs they offer to students. Some teachers care a lot about their students and check in with them in a regular basis. The counselors are nice and actually listen to their students as well.

My best experience is getting accepted into the Career academy and playing soccer. My worst experience is the constant coach turnover and the lack of care for female sports. I would like the counselors to help more prepare students for the cost of college especially ones that will not qualify for much financial aid.

I wish Westland had more support outside of our school. The district doesn't care for our high school as much as the others. Westland has potential to be better through a nicer facility, and resources. They lack prep for SAT testing and the curriculum does not match up to whats on the test. However, we have great staff and administrators that support students and are proud to be apart of Westland.

Fights did sometimes break out and there were definitely instances of bullying and students showing prejudice towards others. Howe...

Attended (2015-2019). While I had some awesome experiences,enjoyed the diversity,and met some genuinely amazing teachers I was disillusioned by general classes that were boring and unfocused, an administration that failed to take responsibility, and a lack of school spirit and academic pride. While...

This school is a disgrace. The students dont have any respect what so ever. I feel like they dont even know the definition of respect. I attend this school but after only being there for 5 months, I plan on going back to my old high school. There is fights every single day, even when the staff threa...
