Info
The students care about the community and are generally well rounded kids. Sometimes they focus too much on clothes or money, but they always straighten out in the end. The teachers are amazing and are dedicated to helping the students master their subjects. Best school ever!

I attended this school many years ago, and I am thrilled that my daughter is now attending. The academic work is demanding but the teachers are dedicated to helping the students master their subjects. Students have a number of free hours throughout the week, and the wise ones spend this time either ...  Read more

The academic standards are high and the facilities are beautiful. Unfortunately, in my experience as a student at HW, it quickly became evident that the student body was not selected for intelligence or character, but for the amount of money that their parents earned. I would never choose such a status-conscious ...  Read more

Harvard- Westlake is a wonderful school. The environment is very energetic and friendly. Courses are molded to fit each and every student instead of having them forced into certain courses. The people are very caring and helpful. While HW does offer some of the best academics in the country, it is also ...  Read more

It's unfortunate that a school with such high academic standards fails to teach ethical standards. Success isn't the name of the school on your diploma or your car hood ornament, or the high GPA that you cheated to get, but HV's culture rewards status rather than character. Such a shame.

The instructors are top notch, the administration is responsive and caring, and the student body is inspiring, motivated, and diverse. The clubs and extra curricular activities are endless. There is something for ...  Read more

the high standards and level of competition at hw keeps students from learning about themselves and giving back to he world. priorities are mixed up, many students aim for grades and money rather than happiness and generosity.

My son just started a year ago, but we've been very impressed so far. We were a little concerned about sending him because we're not a family of means; we receive a very generous aid package. But my son's friends are decent and down-to-earth. It's just not a big deal that his house is small and not ...  Read more

We live in the area. Our children went to HW for 2 years. The friends they were bringing home from Harvard Westlake were rather 'full of themselves.' Even the students who were not exactly intelligent, would like to have you believe that they were doing much better than they were. They would tell you ...  Read more

Students who come out of Harvard-Westlake are well intelligent and overall well rounded. They are incredible young adults.
