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.

I have had a great experience with Westlake High school. The faculty is amazing and provide many resources to help students do their best and thrive in school, and the student body is very active in and outside of school.

I would like there to be more involvement behind the scenes in the plays as we are always in need of extra hands to help with set building and organizing the props.

I took my daughter out of the Ursuline School, where she was "journaling", not learning to write and watching movies like Romeo and Juliet in Biology class. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the honors and AP courses. She finally learned to use an outline. They used the Teaching Basic Wri...
