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.

Westchester Middle School was one of the greatest grade schools I have ever attended. The whole district is amazing with its determination of improving their students. The teachers are very open and very helpful in each and every classroom. Security is amazing at the school and every student feels safe and feels as if the school is like a second home. I would love to go back to Westchester Middle School for the greatest experiences of my life.
