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 High School was really great in my opinion. I had a bunch of friends, great classes, and super cool teachers. The teachers went out of there way to get to know you. That was something I greatly appreciated. Played football all 4 years and have most of my favorite memories from that.

Field trips stopped happening.
