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.

The best parts of my experience during my four years at Westland mainly include when I'm with friends. As I used to be in the band, I would spend a lot of time at school and doing things involved with school. This led me to become very familiar with many of the faculty and students. The teachers are the best part of Westland and the students are the opposite. Every day I come in and say hi to the teachers I've had before, always being greeted with a smile. But if I even dare to look in the same direction as somebody in the hallway, the possibility of getting yelled at or shoved becomes very high. Westland is a somewhat safe school, we have school resource officers and numerous staff always watching, but the students are what truly take it down. Knowing this, my involvement in student events and clubs isn't as strong as I want it to be, simply because I don't want to be around the wrong crowd and get roped into a situation.

I wish Westland had more support outside of our school. The district doesn't care for our high school as much as the others. Westland has potential to be better through a nicer facility, and resources. They lack prep for SAT testing and the curriculum does not match up to whats on the test. However, we have great staff and administrators that support students and are proud to be apart of Westland.

Fights did sometimes break out and there were definitely instances of bullying and students showing prejudice towards others. Howe...

I’ve lived in Galloway my entire life and had a child at Westland High School and one at Norton Middle School when I made the decision to move my family to an acceptable school district outside of South-Western City Schools. I’ve witnessed the Westland area of the district deteriorate, I’m a Westlan...

Attended (2015-2019). While I had some awesome experiences,enjoyed the diversity,and met some genuinely amazing teachers I was disillusioned by general classes that were boring and unfocused, an administration that failed to take responsibility, and a lack of school spirit and academic pride. While...

This school is a disgrace. The students dont have any respect what so ever. I feel like they dont even know the definition of respect. I attend this school but after only being there for 5 months, I plan on going back to my old high school. There is fights every single day, even when the staff threa...
