**This is a review you need to read.** Our daughter is behind a bit. We've been through hurricane(s), a house fire, and were homeless for a while. Not jobless. Not broke, but we lost our home to a fire following a hurricane. Every single person at this school has been amazing! Academically it is very focused. There is this synergy, chemistry, and orchestral teamwork that exists from the Principal to the lunch staff. It breaks our hearts that our daughter is in her final year here at Westside. We will miss all of them so much. Do not be frightened from the demographics. We have had our children in paid, private schools, and the so-called richy, rich schools that were **supposed** to be the best. Westside Elementary is hands down the absolute **BEST SCHOOL** any of our children have been to. Tutoring before and after school. iReady, Class Dojo, meetings, and all of them constantly strive to help every single child succeed. There's a strong ribbon of faith that drives this school, and I cannot commend them enough for their proficiency as educators. You will notice every single person there truly cares. Thank you Westside Elementary for everything you do, all that you are, and how you have helped our daughter.

rude people, horrible teachers from my child's prospective and mine, every time I have gone in there teachers aren't following the dress code that the students have to listen too, along with the snobby looks and finding out what they have planned or already did this weekend, I am sorry how are you going to teach something and turn around and do something different I am sorry they are HYPOCRITES. I think they have horrible professional skills, " I will call you back" ...Never hear anything ever until you call them back. They called telling me my daughter was sick, "Ok I will be there". I get there they are in testing, and telling me if she leaves she fails or has to take summer school,"Wait, What, she is sick and they called me!" My child is smart and she has a good head on her shoulders and I don't know the laws in FL yet because we are new here, But let me tell you, This is one of the most horrible schools to enlist your children into DON'T DO IT! Go somewhere else!!

Ms. Winch the principal, and Dr. Hayes are absolutely,unequivocally the best!! I am really enthused about the curriculum at our school. Please keep up the great work. P.S. I really need to include two of the most wonderful teachers on staff, that is Ms. Henry, and Mrs. Shultz. A everybody!!!:)

This is a wonderful school Mrs Winch is the principal and she really cares about her students. I have come to know quite a few of the teachers and they also care for the well being as well as the education of the students. A great family atmosphere.

I Love the School... I went their when I was Little and Now My daughter Has had the chance to go their as well... Their were a few things that I didn't Like but after some work they are by far a Great school I would suggest if you want one on one with teacher and student then West Side is the Place to be... My daughter Had for 3rd and 4th grade the same teacher and I will say we Love her to death... not only did she take the time out to help my daughter with work but she pushed her to Do her best and for that I would Like to say a Big Thank you to Ms. T. Harvard This is the last year then my daughter will be off to Middle school and we will miss yall Alot... Thanks for making every year Count :)

Worst school i have ever dealt with. More trouble than they are worth and is seems like the majority of the staff hasn't even made it past high school. They are rude! Probably gonna move just to be away from it!
