The school overall is okay, like the staff, students and such. The only thing I think needs to be changed is the amount of respect given in the school system and more listening to what the student voices have to say because it is important to be and make yourself heard

I believe that Westhill High School is a great school if you are involved in any extracurricular activities. But, if you are not involved, the 'high school' experience isn't as enjoyable. Most of the teachers are nice, and willing to help when a student is struggling. Overall, I believe that the school should try something different, in order to engage add involve more students.
