I'm definitely happy with everything happening at Westfield High School. I'm so sad that my daughter may miss out on senior activities because of Covid 19 but everyone has been super supportive over the past 3 plus years she's been there. No complaints!

Westfield high school looks like a prison, is a prison. Most administration just doesn't care about the student's education and just want to sit at their desks and to collect their paycheck. TRASH!

No structure in this school system. Perhaps when we get a new principal and administration it will rise to its true potential. A lot of apathetic, semi-unprofessional administrative members. The teachers can't rise to their full potential, either with all the disorganization they have to make up for what is lagging, and it can be overwhelming for some. It looks nice on the outside but the infrastructure is horrible. Students do OK but that's probably because of all the parents who are constantly whining due to the fact that their opinions seem to count more than anything- and that is not always a good thing. Getting your child out of old-fashioned discipline does not do any good, either. High student:teacher ratio- WPS does not seem to care about the well being of teachers or students overall. People just want to sit at their desk, drink their coffee, and get by with the bare minimum in order to collect their paycheck.
