Student Body
A majority of the students are African-American, although the school draws students of all ethnic backgrounds from across the Los Angeles area.
Orville Wright Middle School is WESM's primary feeder, although WESM also draws many students from Marina del Rey Middle School, Palms Gifted Magnet, Mark Twain Middle School, and Audubon's Gifted Magnet, along with various charter and private middle schools.
Sharla Berry, a guest columnist for YES! Magazine who attended Westchester from fall 2002 to summer 2006, stated that the school's different ethnic groups interacted with each other frequently.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:

“And everything is gone, the body is gone
completely under, gone, entirely gone.”
