Keystone High School Competitors

We Educate for Excellence. It's a mission the Westlake City School District takes seriously and strives to promote to our more than 4,000 students and about 600 staff members. The district consists of three K-4 elementary schools, a PK-4 elementary school, an intermediate school for grades 5 and 6, a 7-8 middle school and our high school. The Westlake Schools, located at the western edge of Cuyahoga County, consistently earn the top "Excellent" rating on the state report card, placing us in the top 4% of districts statewide by providing students a foundation in the basic skills, while offering programs and courses that encourage individual academic success. Our program is driven by a Continuous Improvement Plan that guides the district in every aspect of its performance. We also enjoy strong support from our parents and community.

Our people are where it all begins in our schools. We consider each candidate through the following lens: "How will this individual impact and influence our students?" and hire those who we believe will bring opportunity, respect, and "zing" to our schools. And we're not just talking about our teachers. In the Lorain City Schools we believe that every one of us, regardless of job title, is an educator, with many opportunities to contribute to the development of our youth each and every day. We actively seek out the finest candidates to be a part of our team so that our students are surrounded by individuals who are passionate about life, learning, and discovering their path for success. As we like to say around here, "Going out of our way to help others is the Secret Sauce." Lorain City Schools employs more than 900 amazing people, including teachers, support staff, and administrators. If you believe every child can learn, and that every one of us has something to teach one another, we want to meet you.
