Westwood Tutoring FAQ
Westwood, California, has a population of around 1600 people. The town is built on lava flows from the Cascade Mountain Range volcanoes. The area was built up from the logging industry, and the town has a rich history. It was created to be an operations center from the Red River Lumber company in 1913, and the town grew with the company. Westwood, California, is the home of the mythical logger Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
Are you ready to meet and exceed your educational goals? Westwood, CA, tutoring could help you pursue academic excellence and surpass your goals. Westwood is the home of the Westwood Unified School District, which contains the Fletcher Walker Elementary School and Westwood High School. Between these two schools, there are just fewer than 200 students. The area also has the Westwood Charter School and the Red River Community Day School. The nearest place of higher education is Lassen College, around a half hour away in Susanville.

It is a great location for snowshoeing or stargazing, and you may love to hike through the area's wonderful scenery. Lassen Peak is the largest plug dome volcano in the world, which is also a major draw to the park. In Lassen Volcanic National Park, you are able to find active mud pots and hot springs.
