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.

The thing that I loved most about my school was the teacher ability to connect with each student and how flexible their classes were to meet the students learning needs.

As one of the nine students to be in Westgate's first graduating class, the best word I could use to describe my experience is 'unique.' Westgate is a non-traditional school for non-traditional students. I myself would have had a lot harder time if I had spent my middle and high school years in a traditional school. My time was by no means perfect, but its gotten me closer towards my life goals then I think any other school would have been able to.

Not so much 'bad' as non existent, especially as a high-schooler. What clubs we do have are small and short, such as running club or the school plays. Beyond that, Westgate doesnt have much in the way of clubs
