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.

Westlake Academy is an IB school. The school is a small community where everyone knows everyone on a personal level. The DP years which are your junior and senior years of high school are very rigorous academically. I have grown as a learner and as a person through my time at Westlake Academy.

I really like Westlake. The football team is good, even though its just 6 man. I came here in 8th grade, around the November December Time Frame, and it was hard making friends, cause everybody here has grown up with so much money, but you get used to it.

I love Westlake! The International Baccalaureate system was great for my daughter. Especially the Diploma Programme (11th-12th grade) is excellent.

My children have attended WA for 3 years, it is too late in their education to change schools, but I highly regret sending them here. There have been feces on the walls of the "portable" bathrooms for two years. The campus was presented as a high quality and safe environment but when I came to the c...

The school has its positives and its negatives. I know that the school will brag about it’s performance, but the main reason why the school performs at a high level is that the parents are engaged in the lives of their children. Any school that has engaged parents will see higher test scores. That i...
