I am currently attending Westside and I also have a brother who is a Senior this year at Westside. We both love the school and it's atmosphere. The atmosphere is very family orientated and one on one, but it also gives each student room to discover the world and establish his or hers own personal beliefs.

The best part of Westside is within the first few seconds that you walk into a class room there is an unexplainable love and acceptance with everyone.

Overall Westside is an amazing school and provides an incredible atmosphere for all who come! Read less
