My son attended Westwood this year. His teacher went above and beyond to meet his academic needs. He immediately made friends and felt connected to staff. Prior to Westwood he was struggling academically. After a year at this school he was on grade level in every subject and had straight A's!

My daughter had a situation that required me to contact her teacher. The teacher followed up the next day and contacted me back about what occurred. I appreciated the teachers prompt handling of the situation, and the fact that the teacher kept me informed.

The school prioritizes reading at home with your child which is so important at the elementary age!

Excellent! My children have been attending this school for eight years. I have been involved in the school and have seen so many of the facility and staff exceed my expectations. Amazing school! We love Westwood!

My experience at this school is half and half. The teachers and the way learning is presented is amazing! But this school doesnt handle bullying very effectively, and also I have found dead bugs in my food a few times. But overall this school is fine.

I am disgusted at how I have seen some teachers and a few aides treat the children.Monday Mrs. Allen atkinson got after a little girl in the hall in the meanest way, that was the first sign this place was trouble. Just yesterday morning I witnessed an aide yell at the 2nd graders as if they were in boot camp! My daughter just moved to this school yesterday and she came home in tears today. I have never seen her so upset over school. Her teacher made her eat orange peels at snack and wouldn't let her have a drink...again. The only reason I gave this school 2 stars is because the only decent adults I have met were the office staff. I can't believe these adults are always yelling and mean to the kids and all of these parents think this place is so great!
