I live in the neighborhood and I'm really concerned about the graffitti I see on the schools fences (the blue fences) and the park sign that is just next to the school. If this is happening repeatedly, it means that whatever is being done to control this activity is not working, and something greater steps need to be taken to find those individuals who are causing this problem. This problem will continue to affects home values and also the schools rating ultimately. There are at least 4 homes in the area that are not selling right now. Westridge is similar to neighboring subdivisions Northgate, Walnut Glen, Nicolet, or Brookvale; yet the elementary school ratings have a huge influence on the property values in each of these neighborhoods, and there is a large discrepancy in values due to the schools rating.

2010-2011 was the last year for my daughter in this school she loved all her teachers untill she came to her last year ,evry day when she comes home she tells me about her day, she said that her teacher used bad language (cussed0 in front of her students. When i heard this i was in shock and then one of the parents told the princible about it and my daughter told me there were rumors that this might of been her teachers last year in that school overall a good school, just ask your child what happend in school and you should be fine.and they should do more to raise money.

This is a good school. If it wasn't for the budget cuts and a few things, it would be a great school. Parents have been very involved and helped where some of the cuts hit, and the programs have been very good for my son.

I attended Patterson Elementary from K-6, and couldn't have asked for a better school and upbringing! I still have a lot of the same friends that I went to school with there...we're still best friends at that!

Both my daughters attend Patterson School. My experience so far has been great! I must say that Miss. Luo and Mr. Berg are such great teachers as well as the Principal Ms. Davis. Both my daughters are happy in this school. I would like to see more after school activities but I also understand that the money has been cut. PTA is always the same old boring thing. They need to update in their activities and the way they raise money for the school. I think they should make a flyer asking parents for ideas on how to get money for the school.

My daughter went to patterson in first grade and K. We moved in the middle of first grade and she started going to Hirsch Elementary.. In Patterson, in K, the teacher took interested and asked my daughter to take AR tests and my daughter did really well. When she went to First grade, teacher said, they don't do AR tests in First grade.. What? When she moved to Hirsch, my daughter started taking tests again and she did really good in Hirsch.
