Rating 4.47 out of 5 180 reviews
A hard school in general, the counts of suicide rates represent the school. Most can already guess why these suicide rates even exist. The education is tough for those who aren't "naturally gifted." Teachers are pretty good, kids have meltdowns in class. Not only is the education tough but also the environment, "Everyone for themselves!" is basically plastered all over the students. Overall, everything is pretty easy and carefree except the education level and the community.
My experience At HW has undoubtedly changed me. The community at Harvard Westlake is very inclusive. Many people say that the work load is immense, but with some good time-management you will get through; another thing is that HW has a lot of breaks sprinkled throughout the year. We get Rest and Relax Weekends one every quarter, Flex days every quarter, and even more Holidays and breaks in the school year. Overall, I would say that my experience there was amazing
