Westview is a great school! Most of the teachers really care about what they teach. There is a wide selection of AP classes as well as free dual-credit classes taught in-school by PCC certified teachers. The athletics, performing arts, and machinery departments are great as well. With any large group of teachers, though, there are bound to be bad eggs. They don't really detract from the experience, but just be prepared.
The student body is huge, so you meet new people every day. There's not really "cliques" more like friend groups because it's impossible to know everyone. Classism is a big issue, though, due to it's location near Nike/Intel. There's also a very high pressure to take a lot of AP courses. People tend to look down on someone who's "only" taking 1 AP class.

I love how the administration genuinely tries to support every club, activity, and art at the school. Football games, speech & debate, theater performances, anime club, basketball tournaments, and band competitions are all attended to and supported by the administrators. One amazing thing about Westview is our annual multicultural assembly. Any person from any grade and any background can sign up and audition to perform. We get to see the beauty in our diversity and appreciate all of the cultures alive at Westview. It's something that everyone looks forward to. Westview also has an amazing culinary program and a great language program. We offer Spanish, French, Japanese, and ELD classes. My biggest complaint about Westview would just be the overall cleanliness. Bathrooms are falling apart and generally very dirty and unable to properly function. It has been this way since I was a freshman. However, I've loved attending Westview and being a student here. It's a great place to be.
I really enjoy the culture at Westview. At first, I hated how competitive people at Westview are, but now I have grown to love the ambition and drive coming from each and every student. Westview has a culture that strives for excellence in all aspects. Students are constantly challenging themselves by trying to be the best team in the state in their sport or by taking on multiple sports. Our arts programs always have their eyes set on number one in the state. Our students are constantly racing to have the highest GPA, to be the smartest, to be the best. From freshman year, we have students taking AP courses and some even end up taking up to 15 AP courses by the time that they graduate. The standard of excellence at Westview helps to drive and motivate students to always push themselves and I think that that makes Westview stand out.
