My daughter had gone to westpark for 2 years now, and so far its been great. She has loved her teachers and all the friends she has made. I would say Westpark is a good school to send your kids. The office staff is nice and caring they know us by first name basis. The staff is friendly and the school is always cleaned. I love that there is an after school program for my daughter to attend. I dont agree on some of the stuff the districk has them doing, but thats not them. Its a agreat school

spec. ed classes ar wonderful, they have my son doing stuff i never thought possible. the regular ed is a joke. my kindergartener hates it. they make them play outside when it is below freezing, the teacher constantly complain about being over worked. she never listens to my concerns just has the parent volunteer send me notes home saying my child needs extra help. isnt that her job.

I feel westpark has succeeded in nurturing my children in Rosamond I have had nothing but great experiences with all the teachers even the ones my children have not had. The office staff is always friendly and helpful, My children are superattendent honor roll. I believe it comes from the great enthusiasum and commitment of the teachers along with the family commitments to our children. I will be greatlly sadden when our last child graduates 5th grade in 2011 and will miss all of the staff. They also have a great janitor system and the principal is outside greating parents or always available.

I have had experience with this school, they are not helpful or considerate with your childs individual eduacational needs. Most of the teachers are horrible. What do they really do anyway.....they have teachers aid, and volunter parents, but yet they can not meet the needs for individuals. It is a joke and am educating myself on my childrens rights, and parent rights.

This school is very poorly ran.The teachers are very poor with patience with kid.My son attends the school and admittingly has a behavior problem along with a reading problem . I constantly have discussions with the principal and she has no better solution than to put him in the office for his behavior were he has to do his work with no or little help.Than gets in trouble for not finishing his work.In which he needs help with some of it.His teacher and principal feels it is ok to just dump the kids desk out on the floor and tell them to pick this pig pen up after she dumps it which is very disrespectful.My son gets in trouble for needing to use the restroom during class time and is marked tardy for entering the school as the bell rings.My son will be removed soon!!!!

My girl is attending this school and will be pulling her pulling her out ASAP. I've never seen the principal since the school started and the office people are rude, no manners or office ettiqurtte at all. One morning we were a minute late and one lady said you go and get a late slip. This people don't know how to talk professionally. Then the office clerk asked me one day when I went to the office and said: 'what do you want'. They cannot talk to me like that in front of my 6 yr old daughter. This school is terrible with a very low state score. As a mother, I am a very hands on mom and everyday I see to it the my childrens homeworks are done. We read to them and do workbooks every weekend, but it's the school that has a very low standard of education!

West Park has been a great school for my child. The principal could be friendlier and more welcoming to parents. I have offered to volunteer for a book sale or something else and was told that they do not have a pta or pto.

I have one child attending Westpark and another in a school out of the area. Westpark does not meet other elementary standards of education. I am not impressed with level of education. It is a shame that in an advanced learning enviroment my child would struggle to catch up.
