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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The best experience was the friends I have made from attending this school, these friends are lifelong friends I am grateful to have met in my classes. One of the worst parts was getting up too early, I feel like it was hard to wake up enough to get all my work done efficiently. I would like to see teachers try to get students more involved and engaged in their schoolwork if they were struggling and reward students who get their work done. For example, letting them listen to music and hang out on their phones or can go play board games.

Overall, I have had a good experience at Westminster High School. I feel the area that my school could improve on the most is post-secondary readiness. I don't feel that Westminster High School educated me deeply about my options after high school, how to complete a college application, how to pay for college, what a student loan entails, how to pay bills, and so much more. Everything that I know about my future is because of myself. I have had a good experience with academics, extra curriculars and athletics, but the social atmosphere could be improved. There is a gap in socioeconomic status at Westminster High School and social groups reflect that very clearly.
We have three kids currently enrolled and have lived here 3 years now. We love the teaching and support staff.
