#2 Best Public High Schools in Travis County
Alum: I would give this school 4.5 stars, but I'm going to lower it by one point.
This school was incredible at preparation. College was easier than many of the classes and workload I was given at Westlake. That being said, if you want to do a variety of activities, you will be out of luck. Westlake is excellent for kids with a focus. If you want to be a track star, choir kid, theatre kid, band kid, you can definitely find and explore your niche to the highest potential!
That being said, if you are looking for a school where you can do everything, that is not possible here. I did AP classes and just theatre by the end. I was pursuing musical theatre, and that really wasn't available to me. I would have had to only do choir, and their theatre training really isn't there. They are music focused, and, when I went there, have a very Christian focused program.
The school is difficult, very stressful, but does prepare. There is an expectation that you will be a successful college grad.... Read 515 reviews
