School Overview

Westlake Middle sits in the heart of Oakland, a city full of energy, culture, and complexity — and the school reflects that reality honestly. Families considering Westlake should know that academics are a significant challenge here, with test scores among the lowest in the state, so strong home support and outside resources will likely be important. That said, Oakland's tight-knit neighborhoods foster real community bonds, and families who are deeply rooted in the area and committed to advocating for their kids' education may find value in the connections this school offers.
