    "I honestly loved my time at Westview. I got involved with the yearbook staff my freshman year, and it enabled me to grow into a well-rounded, knowledgeable, and active student. By the end of my high school career, I was going to at least one club a day, and loved being at school every day. The 4x4 schedule was a great preparation for college, and I'm very glad my course schedule was organized in that way. The "longer" class periods allow for a lot of material to be covered in the course of a day. In particular, I truly enjoyed all of my honors and AP English course teachers. They certainly prepared me for the volume of writing required in college. Westview as a whole is definitely academically competitive. Many students will work very hard to get straight A's, and if you aren't an amazing student, it may be a little discouraging. All I can say is that I haven't met a teacher there who wouldn't be willing to help you out if you just ask for it. There's also so many ways to get involved at the school, it's incredible. Students are always creating new organizations to get involved in. The only way not to enjoy oneself at Westview would be if one doesn't immerse oneself in the school."

    "I graduated in the class of 2010 and i can honestly say that westview is a great school especially because of the 4x4 schedule. The learning is not accelerated at all. Technically it might be but I can tell you from experience that the material doesn't feel like it is too much. It seems like people are assuming that the teacher just takes a normal lesson plan then teaches 2 lessons a day. This isnt the case and anyone blaming the 4x4 for their child's inability to do well in school is simply full of it and in denial about their child's lack of intelligence. No normal class will require the need of a tutor. The 4x4 (which i guess is the defining characteristic of the school ) allows much more freedom for retaking classes and providing off roll for students that are on track. The average senior will finish off their last year getting out of school at 12 o clock because the 4x4 has allowed them to finish their required classes. As an athlete i can also assure you that the coaches are good and plenty of money is given to the extra curricular programs. The AP classes are on par with college level courses and it is a very safe school. (kids have rap battles/dance offs instead of fights)"

    "Westview tries to have the kids learn by "drinking through a firehose". The 4 x 4 schedule forces kids to absorb a year's worth of information in 1/2 a year. LEARNING isn't the priority at Westview. Teachers here do things like not give back tests. Lazy! Allowing the freakishly brilliant/motivated kids to max out APs is the goal. This leaves normal, smart kids feeling like they are dumb and giving up on taking advanced classes. They have an API of 10 because of demographics. They have a very low similar schools ranking because they don't do much with the kids they have. MOST parents hire tutors to get their kids through normal courses like Chemistry 1,2. (and I am not even talking about the $$ spent by parents to get their kids through the AP classes.) This school looks good, but be prepared to spend alot of $$ on tutors."
