Academically, not good. Kids dont listen to the teachers, they be on their phone the whole class period, cheating all the time, teachers too be lazy( some of them). However, its a really fun school, everybodys cool, nice, friendly... long story short, If you want a school where you can have fun and do less work, go here. But if youre a nerd and really take your studies serious, Then it is not for you.

Some of the staff are very helpful, others are just plain useless. Same can be said for the teachers. The kids openly flaunt the dress code and faculty randomly choose who they will enforce it on. Kids go to school smelling like weed and teachers seem unconcerned with it. Kids disrupt class and there are teachers that allow it to go on, without calling the kids out on it. The kids here obviously have little home supervision which explains why the kids are so rowdy here. If you are looking for a district where your kids can blossom and excel in education, this is not the place.

To you parent looking for a school I ask, dont mind the negative reviews by disgruntled student who didnt get away with being disrespectful or evil in school.My daughter graduates this year being No. 4 out of over 270 students graduating in 2017. I was able to mentor students, attend events, work with students doing their graduation projects and to interact with the teachers in many matters that came up with the projects. Having been involved with the Engineering Academy for the past four years I must say Im pleased beyond thought. The teachers my daughter has had during her four years here have been excellent. The Academy Director, Mrs. J. dedicates her ALL her time and more to ensure the students have all the possible options available to them, from Job Shadowing, Mentoring by actual Electrical, Mechanical and Programming Engineers; that the Robotics Team has the finances needed to continue the competitions each year. The main teachers in that department, Mr. Barfield and Mrs. Barron, are by far some of the best teachers Ive had to deal with. They are Engineers who have decided to teach the newer generations what they have learned in over fifty years of combined experience in the manufacturing field. In a nut shell, from the janitorial, to the front desk staff to the teaching staff I could not have had a better experience.I must agree, they do have some hard to deal with students but it is the lack of parenting skills that allow these young men and women to grow the way they are growing, not the lack of professionalism on behalf of the school system. I know that all the students who decided to study instead of hanging out at the have done great. Ive met a young man who had a pending patent on a product he designed, this earned him a FULL Scholarship to NC Chapel Hill Univ. Ive met a young lady whos professionalism helped her gather over $80k on scholarships before she graduated. Ive seen children with extraordinary situations helped until they were able to overcome whatever was impeding their learning, Im talking 100% involvement from the school staff to help solve the issues until the best interest of the student was met.Ive seen my daughter go from a little girl to a grown, mature young lady any parent would love to have for a daughter, Im glad God have her to me. Equal to her, many young ladies showed up and excelled in the Robotics team; wining several trophies through the years. They have a great go-get-it attitude that nothing can stop.

My time at this school has been rather mixed. I tend to keep to myself, so I dont deal with fights, drama, etc, and Im a more so well behaved student. That being said, that does not mean that teachers will always show a nice attitude towards you, but thats to be expected; students can be rather.. Terrible, causing fights, or just doing unnecessary things.However, Im not saying fights happen everyday at this school, thatd be a false thing to say. Fights do happen still, and some may even consider it to be a regular thing, unfortunately enough. Administration is fine, at least from my personal experience, though sometimes can be a mixed bag. The same goes with teachers, though for the most part, most of the teachers Ive had here havent been bad.Am I saying Westover Highschool is an amazing school? Absolutely not, thats a lie and everyone should know that. Still, Im not saying its the worst school either. It could be better.

Im a student there and it sucks had me waiting out side when it was 17ºf for like an hour recommend mot coming to the school.

This school is not that bad boys are good looking and the kids in the school are Funny I dont know how you can hate this school
