The teachers are amazing at least the ones I have had. My problem is each year they have to replace the special needs teacher and they are terrible with communication with the parents. My son has been at this school for three years and this is the first year his class has been given the chance to eat in the cafeteria because his teacher fought to give them a chance. I don’t think the kids have ever been to the library. The entire office staff and most other teachers want the class to stay all day in their confined class and act like they don’t exist. I’ve spoke to the principal once and when I said my son was is special needs she literally waved her had in the direction of the class and didn’t bother looking at me. The special needs team and the school nurse are amazing though!

I am deeply concerned about the recent direction Westview Middle School is taking under its current leadership. There appears to be an overwhelming focus on boosting standardized test scores at the expense of meeting the individual needs and goals of students.Recently, students, including my own, have had their schedules changed without parent consent during the final nine weeks of school. My child, who is a straight A honors student, was removed from a class he was excelling in and that was directly connected to his goal of qualifying for a high school credit course next year. Instead, he was placed into a study lab focused on test preparation.What is most troubling is how this was handled. Parents were only sent an opt out form with no clear deadline, no explanation of the consequences of not opting out, and no transparency about how significantly schedules would be altered. This feels misleading and dismissive of both students’ academic progress and parents’ involvement.Decisions like this suggest that the school is prioritizing test performance metrics over student achievement, growth, and long term opportunities. Strong students who are already succeeding should not have their academic paths disrupted for the sake of improving school wide data.I believe in supporting schools and educators, but families deserve transparency, respect, and a commitment to each child’s individual success, not decisions that feel rushed, unclear, and driven by numbers rather than students.

Was apart of the class of 2018. Wasn't a bad experience. The students were a little cliquey, but feel as if that was the norm for really any high school. That being said, I personally had a wonderful experience both academically and athletically. Social life was active as well.
