Westwood High School Reviews

 
Excellent teachers- poor students. Bad sports and music programs.

My children have attended Westwood for all three years of high school. It has been a great experience for them - wonderful opportunties, programs and the teaching staff for the most part is great!

Recently, I graduated from Westwood High School. Just like every person in the world I had hard times and easy times during high school, but there were always teachers, administrators, or even the principal, ready to help and guide the learning process. Westwood has an encouraging challenging enviroment, and many fields in which one can shine! I love sports, art and music, and I was able to carry out classes in all three areas, with outstanding teachers. I highly reccomend this school upon the understanding that here, at Westwood High School, I develloped, expressed, and found myself.

Westwood High School is by far one of the best schools ever; from the great teachers & faculty who are involved and care about students, to the coaches and sports administrators, to the principal's office. This school embraces diversity and showcases all the beautiful cultures of it's students!

The administrators care more about the scores on state and national testing then they do the welfare and success of the general population of students.There are some great teachers, and some who in my opinion should be let go immediately for the way they treat the students. The attitude of the teachers is reflected in the students, rough, harsh and resentful of those who get in their way.

All my kids have went to school at westwood and so has my wife. I thank westwood for caring more about students and their Safety

I feel this school had a very positive enviroment for my child. The teachers where very concientiuos.

I attended Westwood High School for the full three years of high school and enjoyed the majority of it. 90% of the teachers were helpful, knowledgable and friendly. There are a variety of classes to choose from and all are a great deal of fun as well as educational. There were some security problems every once in awhile, but not nearly to the standards that most people think. I never felt endangered once. Westwood is a great school and I'd recommend it to anyone.

My son attened Westwood high for 1 year. he he hated it. they have poor security, horrible teachers, and one of the worst decipline plans ever! there is no parent involvment what so ever, it isin a bad neighborhood as well!

Westwood is a great school due to the way the teachers are dedicated to helping you through where ever you want to go.

I went to Westwood and it was a farily enjoyable experience. The only thing that I didn't like was that I didn't feel safe at all times. I also didn't like that the discipline wasn't really enforced throughout the school.

We live within Mountain View boundaries, but my daughter opted to go to Westwood. Her teachers and coaches were all top notch, and she received an excellent education at Westwood. I agree that Westwood is often overlooked by the district and more than deserves equal share of classroom renovations, equipment, programs and prais.

As a former student, I found that Westwood is a great school to go to. I found that the Drafting teacher was great. Threw him I found out abou the Honeywell VICA Internship. Could you believe it that I almost went to Dobson, because I heard about Westwood's alleged reputation. I went to Westwood and found it to be an enjoyable 3 years. Westwood needs to be given more credit to it's dealings with the biggest diverse population of high school student's in Mesa. Westwood is overlooked by Mtn. View, Dobson and Red Mtn. I know that if I had to live anywhere in Mesa's district to send my kids to high school, I would pick Westwood.

As a former Westwood teacher and current parent of a Westwood student, I find that Westwood is often being written off by the district and other schools. It deserves better. All the good teachers and administrators can't help turn it around if the district doesn't change its attitude. It is too easy to say that the changing demographics make Westwood unworthy of a little special attention.
