Westview is divided into three "hubs," each with a separate administration system and cadre of homeroom teachers, designed to cultivate intraschool competition and camaraderie.

School ends at 3:45 PM except on "minimum days" on final exam dates where only half the classes exist.

Students also need to pass the California High School Exit Exam.

[12][16] Grade point averages are computed with each quarter receiving either an A, B, C, D, or F, which correspond to 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0, respectively.

A grade of "D" in any course that has it will qualify for graduation credits, but will not count as having been passed for entry into state universities, and as such if a student who wishes to enter a state university after graduation earns this grade, they must retake the course and earn at least a "C".

Grades in Advanced Placement courses will be changed to an A for a 4 or 5 score on the AP exam.
