What I like about this school is its environment and the staff here making sure everyone is fair, safe, and helped. Students and teachers at this school are very outgoing and down-to-earth people. Westinghouse campus is huge and provides everything you need under one roof. Westinghouse also provides programs such as Passion Engineering and North Western Medical. Overall this school was a very good experience and I recommend coming to this school because of the many opportunities you get and the great environment this school has.
Westinghouse College Prep have teachers that want to see their students succeed in all subjects and areas of their lives. They are willing to help students persevere and resort to different teaching methods to help their students in any way possible. They also care about their students personal life and their daily struggles especially when it affects a student's academic achievements and potential. I wish that Westinghouse staff is more open to hear and deal with racism, micro-aggressions, and prejudice. They need to learn how to seek proper solutions to these situations that deal with heavy topics. They need more teachers of color since Westinghouse mainly consists of students who are people of color.
From freshman to my now current junior year, Westinghouse has been the best experience i've had for learning. The school has many extra curricular opportunities to participate in such as best friend clubs, student government, diverse culture clubs and more. This school also offers sports for those students who have the desire to play a sport or is inspired to just try new sports and expand their experience upon high school itself. Westinghouse is a very diverse school and loves every race and shows their love by making assembly's just for that race and celebrating them as they show and express their true selves. Westinghouse give seniors opportunities with scholarships, mentors, financial help and community building to construct students to become more comfortable in the real world while also giving those still in high school the best tutors and teachers to help with future SAT and ACT.
