I love this school. I know if I call that my children's teachers will call me back. I can call anytime to ask about my kids and actually talk to someone. My kids like their teachers.
I AM WONDERING IF ALL THE REVIEWS FROM PARENTS THAT ARE POSITIVE ARE PARENTS THAT WORK AT WESTLAND... HA HA HA... MOST LIKELY...THERE ARE ALOT OF STAFF WHOSE KIDS ATTEND THERE...
Westland is how schools used to be. There are teachers who care and love teaching. They have smaller class sizes where our children are taught by teachers who really care. Students can begin going to college during their senior year of high school. There have been several graduates who have graduated with 15 college credits. It's a great way for the kids to go beyond what the school can teach them on campus. It's nice to know that if the kid has reached that level, that they are encouraged to go on and even helped by the school to be sucessful in college. It's a great transition for some of these kids.
This is my daughters 1st yr. at this school , so far it doesn't rank very high with me. She entered this school needing special education , IEP , they don't offer any , their idea is to keep the kids in class with no out of class tutoring , no special arrangements nothing really to aid in the development of a child that is behind grade level , its ridiculous, seems like each student is just a $$ from the government , as long as the kid shows up , they get paid
I attended Westland for 5 years, and absolutely loved it. The teachers had a passion for their job, and took an interest in students personal and academic lives, and care for them as their own. I loved the small classes, and the large family feeling. The teachers strive to get the students interested in learning, finding their strengths and interests, and helping them make their way through the journey that it life.
It's the great teachers that make a school great, and Westlands Teachers are dedicated to the education of each individual child.
I believe westland is generally unsafe, there are many safety harzards all over, and the conditions are quite inadequet for children of any age. The main concern I had for this school is the asphalt, the asphalt is no place for school children to be playing on, and the fact that this place looks like a truck stop/parking lot/factory there is no shade to aid the students in survival of the brutal summer heat, and the students are also forced to eat their lunch in a 'lunch room' when in all reality it is mearly a place to sit, when schools should be equiped with a cafeteria, and futhermore there should also exist a formal library not a 9 foot by 9 foot closet disguised as a library. This school, however, does have teachers that really care about the student's success and some that believe that book work is
I am a graduate from westland school class of 2008. I attended westland for 5 uears and those were the best years in my entire in school career. The teachers are so involved in the learning process,and support individuality, they accept your flaws and really go the extra mile to ensure that you succeed. and as far as students go, its amazing to see such an eclectic group of people attending westland each and every year. Westland is truly one of the most socially accepting school i've ever seen and if i could, i would gladly give y deploma back and start all over again :)

Westland is great school that is concerned with each child's development on a personal level. When I call the school they know my children by name. They don't just look at a computer or folder like the bigger district schools. I am aware of everything that goes on and I feel comfortable knowing that they are getting a great education by people who genuinely care about them.
