Westview High School is a secondary school located in Rancho Peñasquitos, a community of San Diego, California in the United States. It is part of the Poway Unified School District.
The biggest rivals to Westview are the Mount Carmel Sundevils. Other major rivals include Poway High School and Rancho Bernardo High School.
Westview uses a 4 by 4 class schedule for each school year, meaning that the school year is divided into four quarters in comparison to other schools' semester and trimester systems. Each student takes four classes each quarter, allowing the student to complete sixteen classes by the end of the year. This is four classes more than the semester schedule and one more than the trimester schedule.
Westview is accredited by the Schools Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Its CEEB school code is #052-986.
Administration and staff
Westview is divided into three "hubs," each with a separate administration system and cadre of homeroom teachers, designed to cultivate intraschool competition and camaraderie. The combined staff consists of 85 teachers, 4 administrators, 3 counselors, 1 librarian, 1 school psychologist, and 39 support staff. Of the 92 credentialed faculty (teachers, administrators and counselors).
Standards
Originally, Westview incorporated a "standards" system into its grading policy. These standards were based on state standards and all classes were required to implement them. Each course had a set of standards that students had to pass in order to obtain a passing grade. Each standard had to do with a particular concept taught in the course, and a student passed the standard when he or she demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the concept. One effect of the standards system was that a student was guaranteed a passing grade if he or she passed all the standards of the class. A student would not receive credit for the class if even one standard was incomplete at the end of the quarter. This was especially problematic in math and science courses, which generally had a large amount of standards. This system was dropped at the end of the 2004-2005 school year.
