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 best part of westside the faculty here at westside. The faculty at westside do care about their students and their futures here at westside. The worst part about Westside is there isn't really any student activities for students to engage in. One change I would want to see at Westside is more student activities. Overall Westside High has created a decent space for students to learn.

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...
