Teachers are good overall and most of the students are good. The only thing I don't like about Westmoor is that too many people are accepted. I can hardly walk through the hallways during passing period without getting squashed between some people.
WESTMOOR is a great school but they NEED TO MAKE A GUYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM! But also a lot of guys would try out and stuff
I love Westmoor because the people are nice, and the classes are awesome.
I love how people are really nice and smart. We work together to make everyone fit in. And we help create awareness on public issues.
i just love it so so so much. its just a great and safe school to go to. and it deserves an extra push.
What's not to like? Great students, superb staff, outstanding administration! Oh yeah, Westmoor is a California Distinguished School; only 4% of the state's schools are awarded this accolade!
As a former teacher, I have to say that this school is one of the best schools in the Bay Area. The teaching staff and administrative staff have created the perfect environment in which students can effectively learn not only subjects, but life skills. Other schools should take note of WHS' effectiveness as a distinguished school.
My two sons both went to Westmoor High (06 and 07 grads). Both are doing great in college right now (A's and high B's). Tells you something about the school I'm sure.
As a current senior at Westmoor, I take great pride to be part of this school. I am a Service Commissionar aka 'Green Hat' at Westmoor, therefore i have great insights of the staff and students that attend Westmoor. Personally, I can say that there is only a minimal amount of students at Westmoor that are soiling our 'California Distinguished School' title...and Westmoor's teachers are to be best! Several teachers that i have had, withold doctorial degrees and can legitametly be called Dr. _____. Every teacher has recently taken a paycut for our 09-10 school year, and earn incomes wherein they could recieve much more at other schools. However, I believe our teachers stay because of our respectful students and the school atmosphere. Lastly, Westmoor's future continues to get brighter with the numerous renovations that will include a new cafeteria, swimming pool, track&field, and library that are soon to be completed.
You may hear that Westmoor is great and have a lot to offer. But most of Westmoors teacher staff is lazy and really dont know how to teach. My daughter complains how most of her teachers waste time in class and have no skill in teaching at all. The teachers arent helpful at all and the counselors arent that great. They are largely in debt and they are selfish for money. Although its being remodeled, I hope their education and sports remodel also. You can find a better high school for your child.
