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.

Westinghouse isn't as bad as the media makes it out to be. We have a lot of struggling factors when thinking of the area it's in and the students graduation rates but I don't think it's all that bad. Our school can come together easily and can be a community. I think there's some teachers that aren't that bad but there's also a lot of great teachers who prepare you for the future and want the best for you.

The teachers at the school are amazing? The worst parts about the school are the environments around and lastly I wouldn't change anything around the school besides its culture.
