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.

My overall experience at Westwood High School has felt like a roller coaster ride. It's exciting, but terrifying as well. Recently, our new principal has been fixing our school environment, so now I enjoy going to school. He celebrates us when we do well because even the little achievements deserve praise. He has made my senior year great.

Westwood has brought out a lot from me, especially during my junior year. My grades have been better than previous years and I'm proud of that. However, many events have happened at school. Violence to be more specific. Luckily I have never been caught up in it.
