[quote=Anonymous]We have one child there and another who is now in HS and we found Westland to be quite good -- not great, but MS is rarely great just kind of the nature of middle schools.  In general, the school is run very well (much much better than the ES we came from which was much smaller) and my sense is that they try to get kids ready for HS more than anything else, which makes sense to me.  Administrators are responsive and reasonable, as is true with many of the teachers.  One of the unusual things and it turns out to be a good thing is that it is the only MS that feeds into BCC, which makes for a big MS but also makes the HS transition quite easy.  The HS also has crazy lunch hours and the kids adapt.  The only real issue we have had with Westland is there are a lot of weak teachers and what seems like pretty high tolerance for bad teaching (we experienced the same at the ES) and I think in this day and age there really should not be such a tolerance for disengaged workbook teachers who lose assignments etc.  There are also some amazing teachers and I think they work to spread out the joys and the pains so, on the whole, it works quite well.
