9/17/2025
Westinghouse is generally a good school and provides support in most areas such as college readiness and Math. It's a vocation school as well as selective enrollment and provides guidance for students before senior year who seeks aid in pursuing college. People in Westinghouse are generally nice and the staff are respectful. There aren't much ways to help students who lack in a subject and they do not reinforce it. Westinghouse needs a better system rather than trusting the students to attend support time.

not the greatest thing ever nor the worst very diverse now and its seemingly improving every year, teachers are so and so some are horrible and some are very good I would recommend.

It's a decent school with a nice view and some teachers can be chill. However, over the years, they have gotten stricter with phone policy and many more. They even removed the one early dismissal day we had. I feel like they could challenge students more academically. I've heard complaints about a few teachers teaching and how they feel the teacher could've done more to help them.

My son got bullied when he was here and no one seemed to care even the principal
9/1/2015
I am a parent of a Senior. The school is highly unorganized, everything from the top Administrator to the bottom. The principal is new and learning on the job, the two AP's are new as well and learning on the job. The front office staff can be unfriendly and unprofessional at times which makes it ha...
