The school was listed as the 46th best high school in the United States by ''Newsweek'' magazine in 2002 and 27th in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area by ''The Washington Post'' in 2006 due to a high percentage of students enrolled in Westfield's Advanced Placement (AP) classes.

It also shares an education partnership with Centreville Presbyterian Church to improve student achievement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Westfield High School Partnership )〕 ==History== Westfield was first conceived to help deal with the extensive overcrowding at adjacent schools, primarily Centreville and Chantilly High Schools. Plans for Westfield High school might have originated in 1997 when it was conceived as West County High School. Westfield's colors and mascot were chosen by Alex Hale in the months before its grand opening in 2000. By 2005, Westfield had grown so large that it had become one of the largest four-year high schools in Virginia.〔 An additional wing was planned to help deal with the overcrowding, and was completed in summer of 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Westfield High School (Virginia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
