Westlake Charter School

I feel very fortunate to have my child attend this school. I love that he has Art and Spanish classes. I love the way most parents are involved with the school. I love that I don't have to pay tuition. I love the dedication that the teachers have to make sure the students succeed.

The new principal is not on board with the community feel, the focus of the school or in support of the international curriculum. He only cares about test scores, down to the t-shirts he bought with the API score. High performing students aren't challenged and the principal takes credit for genetics when the programs didn't do anything for middle or high performing students. After several meetings where the principal's stock answer is "if you don't like it go somewhere else" we are going to take his advice. It's too bad, the school was fabulous under the previous principal and board leadership.

This school is built on school spirit. The school itself is a mixture of a old classrooms and portables but the minute you walk on this school you can feel the love the kids have for their school. The teachers and staff use positive reinforcement to create a school of great learners! Westlake is a small school with a big impact on the lives of our students.

I am no longer a parent at Westlake Charter and was GREATLY disappointed when the school did not grow to 6th grade for the 09-10 school year. However, hearing that their API scores grew to 854 then 912 in 2010, I clearly understand the choice the school made. This school has had its difficulties from the start, but has moved quickly to the forefront in providing a stellar education for our children. I applaud Westlake Charter, and if they grow to middle or high school soon, we're coming back! ss

I have seen first hand how this school focus's on the individual child's needs. Children coming from other public or private schools find here a school that exceeds all expectations.

Great school that teaches thematically and offers specialty classes to students of all grades! Teachers truly care about students and do what is best for students.

Westlake Charter has motivated, creative teachers and their enthusiasm encourages our kids. The parents put tons of effort, too, into the activities and opportunities at the school. We are blessed.

My children have the best teachers in Natomas. The teachers care about our children as they would their own. The extra programs that the children recieve are unbelievable. Many school now days don't have regular PE or Art, let alone Spanish classes. The school is also bless with very dedicated parents. Westlake Charter is a awesome school.
