The best part of Westlake High School are the teachers. They are truly amazing. The worst part of the school is the athletic program. It is a pay-to-play mentality. They also discriminate against student athletes that do not fit their mold.

Overall I am fine with the school, most of the teachers are nice and diligent, the staff are warm and helpful. But they don't have much expectation on academics and my kid never had any homework until she got into the 6-7 grade math class when she was in the 5th grade. Social pressure is big for girls as there are popular girls cliques starting at 4th grade. The school does not pay attention to diversity issue as most kids are white. The white moms run the school, begin with the white mom's club in the neighborhood. They run the booster club, the mom daughter retreat, the parties, and the social events. They form their own circles and make no efforts to include minorities. Most boys are into sports and girls are into fashion stuff....

Do not go this school is horrible
