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.

Do not go this school is horrible

We have loved BCE and the community here. We have two boys here, and they are doing quite well. One is in the GT program and Spanish immersion. He struggles more with SEL topics than with academic ones. The teachers are aware of that and work to find ways for him to grow in that area. Our other child is median on academics but finds getting along with others really easy. His teachers help to stretch him academically and to encourage growth in areas he can just do better by simply trying a little harder (he's so easy-going!). The current principal is not our favorite unfortunately :( She's OK, but we are aware of one time she actively discouraged a teacher that was a real stand out star from going above and beyond simply because "it makes others look bad". That doesn't seem like strong leadership to me. There's always more to a story though, and she'd probably have her reasons.
