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.

We could get better facilities and the fitness programs could use some work.

The extracurriculars are in very short supply i would say. We have FBLA, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball. Not very much students participate in these activities either so its hard to find kids to have a team for sports. Westwood High is a very small school, so that might be part of the reason why its hard to get students to participate. the most popular option would probably be being on the Volleyball team.

Westwood High School, Over all tries really hard to be a great school however, as long as they allow Mrs. Biggs to remain teaching there...the percentage of kids that actually go to college and have confidence in themselves will remain low. She is out of touch with what high school students need to...
