Overall academic wise it isn't too bad, the teachers are hit or miss, some are really good but those teachers end up leaving after a few years. The sports teams are fun and overall not too bad. I think the administration could be better they're kind of rude to students depending on who you talk to. The security is nice and the staff are kind.

Some of the best parts about this school is the amount of oppuriuntiies that there are. The counselors are very informed of what's going on with colleges and if they aren't they do their best to research this includes long calls and emails. The not-so-good part is the diversity it is not as diverse as other schools.

I think overall kids need to be more prepared for college. When I attended there was a severe lack of counselors or abilities to meet with them due to the high student to counselor ratio. I believe if this was fixed it would help kids transition easier into college.

As a student here at Westmoor High School I don't like it much. Because the counslers don't do anything they just make things worse. I am a current senior here. I also don't like how some teachers can be judgemental and racist towards students sometimes. Which isn't right.

My son is a star basketball player in the 8th grade and plan to move in that area so he can play basketball there. School seems cool but checked out their Boys JV Basketball team against Washington the other day, and they looked terrible and coach looked clueless on how to break a full court press....
