My experience at AVHS has been very good and I have always felt supported by students and staff throughout my journey.

Genuinely probably the worst school I've ever known, during p.e my child was told "other kids with asthma can do this" while she was crying because she had to do very unnecessary 'warm ups' that were just long runs, which she has a hard time doing due to her asthma? He grouped kids with asthma together like everyone doesn't have different experiences. Not to mention, homophobia, sexism, racism, and trouble were either given no consequences or things that wouldn't work and just make them worse. Horrible teaching, horrible working. The teachers would lash out and none of the 'second step' videos would do anything. It just teaches common sense and sensibility that most children have, but it doesn't do anything to prevent bullies. People with mental health issues have a hard time and nothing about this school made it better. The p.e was disappointing too. This school sucks.

We have been a part of the Westview community for the last 9 years. We actually moved out of the Westview school boundary and decided to keep our kids open enrolled there because we really love this school. The staff truly cares about the students and we have had such a great experience. All 3 of my kids have had the opportunity to be a part of enrichment programs that have given them extra learning opportunities. I have friends with children that have special needs and IEP's and I have only heard positive things about the special education staff. I love that it is a small school where you really can get to know everyone. If you are considering Westview I highly recommend visiting the school and meeting the staff. Test scores are not a great representation of all that this school has to offer. Over the last 9 years things have only gotten better at Westview and the Future is bright.
