The only good thing about this school is the students that go to it. The educational administration can be frustrating to deal with time and time again.
They ignore instances of sexual assault and leave it up to the victims to decide what they want to do. Under all three administrations our school has had, they've always protected rapists and racists. Children are often given the benefit of the doubt since the administration believes that children are too young to understand the weight of their actions. The teachers have been fed up with this, as they tend to advocate for the students as a stronger voice.
As a graduate now, I had only hoped that I was able to leave a strong enough impact on the students I had befriended. I wanted them to go above and beyond expectations to change the world as they saw fit. I have no other issues with this school as a whole since it helped me become the person I am today, with the help of self-love and outside resources.

Hi everybody! My name is Gemma and I’m a senior literary arts major here at Westinghouse. Where do I even start? Westinghouse is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am proud to say I am a first year student, meaning I came to the school the very first year it opened. In the three years I have been at Westinghouse I can say this is a school like no other. The genuine love and support from staff and fellow students is something I have never seen
anywhere else, and really makes this school the place it is. The personal connections with the faculty allows for a truly exceptional environment for education. Being an arts school, it is crucial to build a trust among students and teachers, and I can say with no hesitation that Westinghouse has done just that. It’s rare to find a school staff that cares as deeply for their students as Westinghouse’s.

Some of the teachers are amazing and put in so much work, but they get treated so terribly. In my time there we had a different principal and admin every year. They treat students poorly despite advertising themselves as a more personalized schooling experience. There is a lot of foundation there, but they don't care about anything unless it gives them more money. They push certain kids and people aside if there is something better. It could be amazing here, but it hasn't improved and has only gotten more theater based while ignoring the rest of it's majors most of the time.
