Still in my junior year at Westwood High School, my experience with this is an okay relationship I can feel comfortable in this school as they show much interest in Navajo and Mexican cultures. I'm in native American and we can host a pow-wow at the school. As for education, I can take IB classes when I'm not in the IB program, they give kids many opportunities. In sports, we are told to keep a C or above grade and are given a scholarship. The only worst part is the fights or drama at school, but even after that, I'm glad to be in a school like this.

My overall experience has been pretty mediocre. The best things about this school is the teachers. The teachers are really nice and helpful but other than that this school doesn't have much to offer.
10/30/2023
My experience with Westwood has been very good overall. The teachers make meaningful connections with students that enhance the learning environment. I would like to see a higher quality of education for general education students rather than only honors, AP, and IB students.

This school is pathetic, it is run by Mormons for Mormons by Mormons. Its a true disgusting depiction of a Mesa Public School. They tell you what you want to hear for the IB program. My daughter could have gone to a better school with AP classes but chose Westwood which has been an unpleasant experi...

Just graduated last year and loved the school. Out of all 4 years I loved all but 1 of my teachers. I learned a lot and they have amazing recourses for collage that helped me get a scholarship for MCC.
