From the a students perspective, much of what has been said of westfield on this site is true. Westfield can be either good or bad, but so can many things. Westfield is a school that offers a great variety of extracurriculars and AP/Honors courses. These courses help students who take them quickly outrank

So if you want your child to go to a relatively ok school and get a good ranking for college without them doing much work (students work hard, but I've seen others work even harder) then westfield is what youre looking for. Also, the school does have a racial majority, but the minorities standout and create the appearence of diversity which is nice. Read less

I believe that Westfield can be either good or bad depending on which type of people are observed. To me, our AP, and Honor students are amazing with much talent that has been discoved quicker than most kids. They are both intelligent as well as socially accepted, unlike how sterotypes make us seem.

I can recall the band being Grand National Champions in 2003. On the other hand, the bad side of Westfield over takes the good kids that attend Westfield. Which evidently will lead to our bad review... ): Read less

I have a son who is attending Westfield this year,.With him coming from another State where the School system was a disgrace,.I've found Westfield to be a charming and helpful School,.Like one parent mentioned in a previous post,.The Teacher's are there to Teach,.They are not caretakers or babysitters,.As

I attended westfield for 4 years and just recently graduated and my sister graduated in 2004, my little brother is also a freshman right now. I really disliked the school because not once did i ever feel safe at that school and also because the teachers (except a handful) could really care less if you

And it doesnt stop there, the staff at the administration building is worthless especially when any type of saftey issue arise. My suggestion is do not send anyone to this school its worth the money to move or send your child to a private school Read less

I have a son who is a senior at WHS, based on his 3 years at this school our 7th grade daughter will not attend WHS. We have put our home up for sale to move out of thei district so she does not have to attend this jungle. Since they have replace the old princlple at the school some things have changed

I think teachers are constrainted by many factors from being able to teach and the most important thing is there is no parent involvement in thei school. The only time you see a parent is at a football game or basketball game. They turn out in droves to participate in these events but when it comes to the education of their kids they are AOL. No way does this school get better until the parents get involved. Read less

WHS is on the right path. Parents need to be more involved. There are great, caring teachers at this school. I tell my kids that their job is to learn and do their best at school.

This school proves to students like me, that no matter what age you are, no one gives a care. Teachers, police officers, and other 'respected' officials don't give a care. Honestly, this school cares more about taking a child's CD/MP3 Player rather than the safety of their own students. On level does

Most of the staff aren't helpful either, I can honestly say they'd rather be with their family at home, or doing something better. A large portion of students are in gangs, promote drug usage, who in their right mind would like to come to this school? It isn't safe, mainly biased. Read less
