Westfield Vocational Technical High School is an amazing school. It gives students the opportunity to gain more hands on experience in the trade you choose. The teachers and staff members are very friendly and the on and off week of shop and academics is great.

Overall this is a good school but there are something they can work on for example the school building itself can be improved. The school has improved a lot in the 3 years I've been here but the building is so old and the bathrooms are gross.

Westfield Voc. Tech. High School get many students from different places who have different backgrounds and bring a lot to the school. The students and the staff at the school are very welcoming to new students and visitors. Who see very little of peer pressure and bullying at the school, and instead others looking out for each other and helping out with what ever they can.
