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.

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 would love to see more parent involvement within this High school to better ready these students for college and their future careers. Along with financial support for the programs and support from the parents and faculty.

My overall experience at Westover High School is great. All of the administration always makes sure that me and my classmates are safe everyday. The food is wonderful, we even have pizza hut on Wednesdays. The teachers always supply us with the tools we need for after high school, and overall it is a great High School to go too.

My experience with this school overall has been less than pleasant. Since i've been at this school no one has helped me with anything or they have given me false information about things regarding my education and courses. The staff is rude and they do not listen when issues get brought up I've had a really hard time just trying to do what needs to be done to graduate. On another note the teachers are great they are attentive and respectful,they listen when we need something or when we need help. For the most part the students are kind and helpful and most of the classes I'm taking I enjoy.
