We had originally wanted to go to Open Charter Magnet in Osage, but when we didn't get in we decided to stick with Westport Heights, which was our home school. Our daughter is now in the 3rd grade and absolutely loves it Westport Heights. The teachers are wonderful and very encouraging and extremely easy to communicate with. Mrs. Long, the Principal, makes herself very available and welcomes parent participation throughout the school. In 2nd grade our daughter tested into the G.A.T.E. program and has been excelling in all subjects ever since. THANKS WESTPORT HEIGHTS for being a GREAT SCHOOL right in my OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.

This is a great school. The students are always glad to arrive and never seem to want to leave. There is tremendous parent involvement.

In the 5 years my two children have been in Westport Heights they have had classes with 10 of our 22 teachers - and we have loved every one of them! Westport Heights has everything - dedicated experienced teachers, administration willing to both lead and listen, and a hard-working large group of parents. The curriculum is sound and we are all constantly employing more and more innovative techniques to further improve our students' achievements. There is always something going on to make the school better: beautification, fundraising, afterschool enrichment, and so on. If you don't like this school - then you just haven't shown up!

My son is in Kindergarten and has a great teacher. I am very pleased with the parent involovement, teachers (at least his teacher) involvement and the Principal. I totally agree with the one review dated May 3, 2010! Bottom Line: This is our school and if want to make it better then the kids in the area and parents need to support it. It is up to us to make it a great one to be proud of!

I love this school. It is just what I want for my neighborhood public school. I have had children in almost every grade and each year I am impressed with the cirriculum and the teachers and especially the principal. I wish all the schools were this good and caring about the student and their well being. If you don't llike something get involved and change it, don't just complain about it.

This School has a few Great Teachers, some good ones, and several far less than desirable, if you are unfortunate enough to get one of the less than desirable Teachers, trying to get your child moved into a different classroom is next to impossible, the Principal chooses to defend the Teacher, and claim that the child is the problem, and that moving them is disruptive to everyone! So the child is forced to make the best of the bad situation, even at the cost of grades slipping, loosing self esteem, and hating the Teacher, Principal and School. This could be a great School, if the less than desirable teachers were weeded out. Most of the parents at the School are very dedicated to their child's education, and the School does have some great programs! We love the Star After School Program!
