The best parts of my high school are the nice people and the nice teachers and admin. Throughout my high school time I've met so many teachers that I feel will be a very important part in my life.

The school is very safe. The teachers are helpful and very supportive and are there when needed. The school hosts pep rallies to support our school sports. Westover is the top high school in the Dougherty country with the highest graduation rate.

My experience with Westover High School is probably the most readying for college experience I've had. The best part of my experience is the club activities, the programs they set up for the students, the field trips to college, and the sports. The worst experience would sometimes be the lack of time they would give students for certain events.

Overall not a bad school. Typical bad students that need guidance and a strong hand. It’s mostly the admin staff. They are rude, pick and chose who to discipline. Harassment is the word. They need to get more teachers willing to teach not just sit in front of a video. It could be a lean on me moment...
