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.

We specifically moved into the westhill district years ago and have not been disappointed. Very family type atmosphere. Teachers and staff know the students and their families. Lots of choices to gain college credits in high school. Very responsive to questions and concerns.
