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.

Westside High School, honestly, has prepared me well for college. I am not scared nor nervous to start college, in fact, I am excited to begin my journey in the college life. The teachers are amazing and extremely helpful, the works and academics are impressive and engaging, and the over all feel of the school is spectacular.

My high school experience was cool but hopefully my college year going to be good. I expected my high school experience to fun but it wasn't how I expected it to be.Playing sports, making good grades, and talking to my football teammates was making it fun but overall it was decent. The bad thing about it was the fights and other negative things but I enjoyed my high school experience.

Me, personally westside has been great to me. I can honestly say westside gave me a family, although I know that it's not true for everyone, it's definitely a home for many. I wouldn't really say I fit in but at the same time why try to be like everyone else, what I'm trying to say is that westside is a place for you to be yourself and still thrive. I don't think much should change about westside seeing as it's not a bad place, the teachers are trying, and although sometimes it may not seem as such but so are the students

I visited the school counselor the same day after class and told her I did not feel well mentally and felt depressed. The counselor to...

This school seems to baby sit high schooler than teach them. My kid teacher literally refuses to send homework home even though he needs the extra help and her decision is backed by the district. I have been told to go buy my own workbooks to work him from home. So parents never know what the kids a...

If I could give no stars, I would. This school is a joke and don't take threats and the safety of the students seriously. When there is a gunman on school grounds and children are running and screaming, it is school related, unlike the email that was sent out after the fact that said it wasn't. The...
