Westmont Elementary School

WONDERFUL PLACE TO LEARN AND GROW Our children have grown in so many ways since they started attending Westmont last fall. The dedication of teachers and the school principle to the success of each student has encouraged our our children to pursue excellence in every arena. They are also really interested in learning about different colleges and careers because of Westmont's "College Bound" initiative. When we first enrolled them I was concerned that low school wide scores on STAR testing meant that our kids would get a second rate education. Quite the contrary. In an effort to boost scores the principle and teachers have invested creativity and long hours to prepare dynamic lessons and academic support for every student. Our daughter has always done exceptionally well in school, but at Westmont her teachers make sure she is challenged. Our son never excelled socially or academically, but now he loves school and feels accomplished (he is).

Great School. This school fosters a college bound environment. A caring community of Great Parent, Great Teacher and Great Students. One of the most recent successes is the Community Garden. My children love going to school.

My child was in Mrs. A Garcia's class. Mrs. Garcia cares so much for each student and she gives 110% in everything she does for her students. She is always smiling and positive in her comments. She prepares the students in all areas and doesn't just focus on what will be tested at the end of the year. She is an outstanding teacher!!!!!

This year (09-10) the principal has really failed to be a strong leader. She is not very friendly and does not pay enough attention to student discipline. If the schools test scores improved its not because of her, its the teachers and parents.

My daughter is in 2nd grade and she is very happy to be at westmont. This year we have a new principal and so far I love all the changes she has made. I hope she keeps all her energy all year long. I want to thank Ms. Palomera for motivating my son (now in 7th grade) to do his best he's now an honor student.

Westmont is a wonderful school thanks to teachers like Mr. J. Meza. He is a respectful and caring educator whose sole interest is the academic success of each student. He goes beyond his call of duty and is evident in his classroom's academic performance. Westmont is very fortunate to have Mr. J. Meza.
