I enjoy attending Westmont hilltop high school. I love that there are many opportunities and clubs for students. My school has a great theater program. The teachers in the honors classes work hard, push the students to do their best, and make it challenging.

Overall, I loved attending Westmont Hilltop. I really enjoyed the wide array of extracurriculars I was able to sign up for. The teachers were all wonderful. Students are very passionate about their school spirit. However, it was a very sports based school. I was more of a musical, arts student and not a lot of money was put towards the music programs. Those teachers were able to make the music programs worth while despite their smaller budgets.

School looks beautiful. My girls attend Senior school but if I had other options near this would not be my first choice. Some teachers aren’t equipped with necessary training to be facilitator's, and employees motive are questionable. If you’re born, raised, married into family from here you’ll do j...
