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.

The teachers don't typically sugar coat and will say things as needed but usually never disrespectfully. School desperately needs funding and is being overrun by the charter school wish. School is pretty lenient with kids when comes to disciplinary action.

I have been at Westchester Highschool since 9th grade and I'm finally graduating from 12th grade in June which is really amazing I have seen so more growth in me and just building myself all the way up till now . What I liked about being at Westchester Highschool is the teachers and the peers they will always help you no matter what and will encourage you in anything you neee from them whether it's school wise or personal which is good . What I would like to see change is have more events planned out and activities to where students will be involved like other schools are doing the most activities right now .
