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.

Our child has flourished at Westside Middle School. The middle school breaks the student population into teams, which makes it more intimate. Passionate teachers, a wide range of electives and a strong and steady prinicpal make this a great place. My child will be ready for high school both academically and socially. The EY program has offered him some amazing opportunities.

Westside in general has been a great decision for our family. My oldest is finishing up 8th grade & my middle is going into Westside Middle School in 2 years with an IEP. I am interested in seeing the difference between their experiences. So far it’s been very positive.

Two sets of rules. One for rich kids and one for everyone else. Rich kids bully the heck out of everyone and the deans and principal turn a blind eye. Blame the victim even.
