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.

to be honest, westminster high school is okay. it's not the best but it's not the worst school. in terms of academics, everything is okay-ish but i would say our school is being carried by the stem program merits. past 5 years won plenty regional, i think national awards too. student life can be a bit cliquey but joining clubs of your interest will definitely allow you to meet your people

I like the environment of my school and the diversity that there is within the community. A change I would like to see is more money being put into more programs rather than just one program that they mainly focus on. I would also like to a change in the food because they usually serve the same food and barely change the food they serve.
