The teachers & pricipal are loving & really care about the kids. AR Counselling is contracted with the school so their care & services are free to the students. It's great.

Posted August 1, 2007

Moving to a smaller school was a great advantage to our children. Westbrook Elementary was the best choice, being surrounded by larger schools, they have the top hand at personal attention and going the extra mile where our children were concerned. Being in elementary, there hasn't been a great deal of extracurricular yet, but the cheerleading camp for elementary girls really brought out the spirit that this school shares in my 5 year old daughter. For a parent looking for teachers that really care, and give every effort for your child, Westbrook is the school you have been looking for. Advantage - Smaller schools!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arkansas used the Benchmark Exam to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in literacy and grades 3 through 8 in math. The Benchmark Exam is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Arkansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
