Westlake TEA Rating 'Exemplary'
Westlake Academy is delighted to report that it received a TEA rating
of 'Exemplary' for its scores in the 2007-2008 TAKS tests. The
Academy is especially pleased as it does not teach specifically to
the tests, due to our belief in the IB programmes which the school
was founded on. However, we are also conscious and proud of our
place in Texas, so to be recognised as an Exemplary school is one
that I hope everyone in the Westlake community can take pride in.
-Mark Rosevear- Head of School.
Westlake Academy granted IB Diploma authorization!
The Academy becomes the first school in Texas with all three programs and the fifth school in the USA to achieve such an honor. Congratulations to David Jenkins, Head of Secondary, and his team, and to the students for their dedication.
