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 liked how the teachers really cared about their students and took the time to get to know their students. I wish there were more clubs to participate in.

Westside has been overlooked for so long, but with new administrators I believe the school will become better.

As a Westside senior I am glad to be out of that school. Most teachers don't care about you or your grades. School attendance is terrible and the school is dirty. The administration only cares about how the school looks to the outside and not the students or faculty.

Westside High School is EXCELLENT! Mr. Adair is one of the most caring but strick principals. You know if he punishes you he does it out of love. He makes sure our school show great sportsmanship. If we didnt show sportsman ship he would be sure he call and assembly to let us know how he really feel...
