Information
Organization's Own Description:
The United States Department of Education has recognized Westside High School twice as a National Blue Ribbon School. Why?
A rigorous academic program and graduation requirements give the school a reputation for innovation and excellence. Eighty-five percent of our students have completed the ACT-defined core curriculum in math, science, English and social studies versus 66 percent of students in Nebraska. Westside High School is traditionally a state leader in the percentage of its graduates recognized as National Merit Scholars. SAT and ACT scores are consistently above metro, state and national averages.
The school's modular scheduling system offers students the opportunity to take a greater number and a wider variety of courses than is possible with traditional scheduling.
Technology has allowed Westside High School teachers to expand learning beyond the traditional school day. Thanks to a renovation completed in 2000, the high school is equipped with wireless Internet access throughout the building. The PowerSchool student information system links parents and students to grades, homework and attendance information 24 hours a day. Additionally, the 2004 one-to-one laptop initiative made Westside High School the first public school in the state to issue computers to each of its students.
Although Westside students work hard academically, they put that same imagination and drive into co-curricular activities. A diverse program offers students opportunities to be involved in everything from sports and music to drama and debate.
