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.

Westchester Square, Academy was one of the schools that I didn't know would change me in the best ways possible. As much hurt and struggle and damage school overall does to someone the people you meet and the staff that genuinely help you become a better person was the best part of being there. The teachers that help become better not only with education, but learning how to go through obstacles as well.

The school was great at first, but then there were new administrations which made the school terrible.

I liked how the staff made bonds with the students to help make their school year better. I wish staff wasn't so hawk-eyed on every little thing.

I would say this school is big on welcoming and feeling at home they have a lot of help with classes you like or maybe don’t like they have a lot of sports and a lot of clubs to join for afterschool activities. They help you get started with jobs and things for the future.
