Westlake Middle School

Westlake Middle School sits in the western reaches of Erie, a city that's reinventing itself along the shores of Lake Erie with a growing arts scene and tight-knit neighborhoods. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with a slight edge in English, making it a solid option for families in the Millcreek Township area who value a dependable, community-rooted education without the pressure of a highly competitive environment. It's a good fit for families who appreciate suburban stability — tree-lined streets, easy access to Presque Isle State Park, and a school that feels like a real part of the neighborhood.
