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 loved my experience at Westbrook High School. I have been really involved with athletics and I believe that is one great way to become involved at this school. The teachers love to become involved and are always supporting the students.

I like that Westbrook High School encourages its students to succeed in every possible way. Because the school is so small, the teachers have a lot of time to dedicate to each and every student. They work so hard to make sure their students not only complete their work, but also understand the topics they learn and are able to apply those concepts to other, real-life scenarios.

I've been in this school for a few years, and within those years, I've been subject to relentless bullying. These bullies have no consequences whatsoever, yet when I stood up to one, I got the police called on me. The one who I stood up to was a rich white girl, and she was not happy that someone DARED to oppose her narcissistic ways. The school took her side because of the money they get from her parents. This school has no morals.
