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.

My experience is pretty good. The teachers are nice and most are passionate about what they do for a living. The food could get better, but you can tell the people like what they do. School spirit could be way better regarding pep rallies and spirit weeks.

When I first entered high school I saw that there was a multitude of opportunities that could help me in my future and I tried to take advantage of those opportunities and they paid off. Westborough High School is a very academic school that really motivates all students to do well in school and allows for them to still participate and be excited about social events that occur. In my senior year, I reflect on the fact that I feel prepared to move on from high school and into college and I am glad that my parents sent me to a school that cares about my future.

My family and I relocated to Westborough a year ago due to its exceptional school systems, and we are extremely pleased with our decision.Despite being more challenging than the average school, it is reflective of the Westborough population. All of my children have some form of learning disability,...
