A true community atmosphere with teachers and staff who model a caring and involved approach to a learning community. The small size allows for everyone to be seen and encouraged a high percentage of students to participate in clubs, sports, and the arts.

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.
