Ok, so I'm sure you've probably heard some nasty rumors about Westport. Most of them are untrue, or just exaggerated alot. But this school still isn't any good. The students are some of the most disrespectful people you might ever meet. The teachers don't even try that hard, and they'll just 'give up'

There are a few really good teachers, along with students, but this school is practically overruled by the horrible students. I'm in 8th grade currently, and I have to say, I am so excited to get out of Westport for good. I'm tired of the ignorant kids, and the level of education. I have been lucky to have AP classes all my years, so I got educated. But if you don't have AP classes, you're screwed. But this is my opinion. Read less

My child is in his second year at Westport. He loves going to school daily because he feels he has teachers and administrators who care about him. We are involved at school. I have never been in that building when I didn't find it orderly but not rigid, clean, and met with a positive atmosophere. I have

I have seen friction between a few teachers and the principal, but my take on it is that these teachers are not on board with wanting change and are fighting the positive things most staff want to take place. Overall, the staff works hard to improve on the weaknesses. As they continue to build on strengths (caring, proactive staff: students who want to learn), Westport will be able to change public perception for the better. Read less

Just like many of the other reviews it is coming from an 8th grade student. Like many I have attended Westport for almost 3 years and I too will miss it.
