We have two very different daughters and both grew into themselves here. I truly think their success lies with having the community and resources Westridge has to offer.

Overall I think there is a strong community within Westridge that attempts to create a positive atmosphere for students. However Westridge falls short in finding ways to create more diversity within the school faculty and students. This is concerning because the school claims to be heavily diverse when in reality that's not the case and they continue to portray the school as such. I do appreciate how they have removed AP from the curriculum because it gives the teachers more flexibility and creativity when it comes to their teaching methods. The main thing I would like to see change at Westridge is the diversity and inclusion when it comes to all members of the community.

I left Westridge a year and a half ago. The overwhelming workload and competitive environment caused me and a large majority of my classmates (from conversations I've overheard) to develop depression. At one point, it got so bad I was put into a partial hospitalization program. Literally all of my c...

Worst experience ever. My girl deteriorated on all levels. They didn’t even care to let us know. It seems that only white girls are entities for good mentorship and care in that school.
