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.

The best part of being at Westfield Tech is the amount of opportunities career path's they provide in different trades and how much recourses are out into those programs. The "worst" part would be that they don't provide any AP or honor classes so it can hinder your academic accomplishments and can restrict your collage readiness.

WTA is a great trade school. They have so many different trades to choose from and offer co-op jobs, which is a huge bonus to help getting kids ready for their future in the trade they chose.

This school is absolutely perfect if you want to actually learn practical, real-world skills. I've had lots of fun in my graphics and communications shop. My teachers are incredible, and I am very happy I chose this school. I've gotten so many job opportunities and connections through this school, that I definitely would not of gotten anywhere else.
