(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - westlake is honestly a horrible school. kids will be kids but these adminstrators treat every last one of them as a prisoner. my child makes straight a's never had a discipline record of any kind. she just got out of school suspension for 2 days , for being late 4 times the WHOLE semester I will be taking her out of school on mon. this isnt the 1st time they have been well in other words stupid. There teachers are very much stuck up and honestly dont care. they come to work .. then leave. if my child is working her butt off and is occasionally late because she might have been a teenager and socialized a little too much..giver her a break . her friends have been through the same thing. its a prison not a high school.
