Westlake High School

At Westlake High School, we have implemented a comprehensive culture of intervention to support students. Through various programs like the PTSA after-school tutoring, ELL lunch tutoring, and Lunch Mentoring, we offer students personalized assistance with homework, organization, and study skills. Over the years, we have seen positive outcomes, with significant improvements in GPAs. Our initiatives include regular follow-ups with students and parents, along with incentives like food vouchers and better grades. The goal is to expand our efforts to help at-risk students achieve academic success.
