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 had a great time at Westinghouse. The friends and the staff made me laugh. Built connections with some of those people. Although I wasn't in school for the full high school because of Covid. But I would like to see more help for the students and better food even though they are trying to work on that.

Westinghouse is more of a sports school rather than an educational program. The teachers are not enthusiastic enough to teach the students.

Being a student attending to Academy at Westinghouse was very challenging. There are so many different things to see on a daily basis. There should be enforcement on keeping kids in the classroom instead of the halls.
