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 Westover High School is probably the most readying for college experience I've had. The best part of my experience is the club activities, the programs they set up for the students, the field trips to college, and the sports. The worst experience would sometimes be the lack of time they would give students for certain events.

It's an amazing school the learning and teaching ideas made it fun and more understanding and the life knowledge taught throughout the lesson helped a lot.

During my time, at Westover as a student I faced challenges that helped me grow personally. Being part of the marching band as a trumpet player added depth to my experience and tackling assessments, exams and projects was no feat. Looking ahead I see changes on the horizon, like a school renovation project and better enforcement of student discipline policies.

Overall not a bad school. Typical bad students that need guidance and a strong hand. It’s mostly the admin staff. They are rude, pick and chose who to discipline. Harassment is the word. They need to get more teachers willing to teach not just sit in front of a video. It could be a lean on me moment...
