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.

My experience with Westlake Highschool has been a rollercoaster. There are many great things about the school like the sports, some teachers, culture, and many other things. However, there are some downs with the school like the safety and the way things are managed, we do need lots of change so we can then become greater. Overall, I've done sports and clubs here, had many great teachers and coaches and enjoyed some time here.

My high school experience has been bittersweet. With the environment, students may lack the respect to keeping the school clean, and attitudes do become a problem however, the staff and the afterschool activities could be a good make up.

I was only there for a brief time as I moved there a month before COVID-19 and the lockdown in 2020. Nonetheless, I felt right at home. My teachers made me feel comfortable being the new kid and my peers were also just as welcoming. The school is among one of the best I have ever been to, as someone who's been to nine different schools total. I also found the courses here to be simple and easy to understand.

My child transferred a few months into the school year. I have heard so many horrible things about Westlake, so I was very nervous about my child starting here. But it just goes to show, that you should always take what people say with a grain of salt. They key with it is, staying involved with your...
