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.

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.

Strongly believe if you and child/children doesn’t fit in for a mass of the demographic and are economically disadvantaged don’t have your child attend. Some staff seem misguided!
