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.

I've been at Westhill high school for all four years of high school in the Agriscience program. I've had some of my best memories there and have made some great friends. I've also made connections with some teachers and faculty that I will never forget the impact they made on me. As long as you are a driven student you wants to succeed you'll have no problem at Westhill.

Westhill is an interesting case of both never wanting to go to another high school and desperately wishing to have gone somewhere else. It's excellent is some ways, but there's always room for improvement. Wishing for change just means we've found flaws that need to be fixed.

During my years of being in Westhill, I believe I'm graduating with a decent feeling. I regret not pursuing in more academics or attempting to challenge myself in ways that can help me improve. Westhill provides many opportunities to succeed and explore. I've attempted to explore as much as I could and in the end, it helped me understand who I want to become.

I am a former student at Westhill high school. I can say this much about this school and it honestly lacks focus. Focus on the students that are willing to learn. When I went to this school the bad kids got all the attention lectures on how to behave in basically all the classes I went and when clas...
