My daughter is in the seventh grade at Westdale, everyone in the administrative office bragged about the school, of there no tolerance moto and how they look out for the children's best interest. My child has been bullied there on several occasion and if nothing has been done about it. There fights at the school on a daily basis and this year there was school lock down twice. The parents were not notified or even given explanations of the incident. There is a lot of improvements that need to take place here, but first they have to acknowledge that there is a problem.

All I have to say is my son learned more at Westdale middle in one school year than he did the entire time he was at brookstown even with my help. He was so excited to finally go to a school who actually taught everybody and not just focused on the talented/gifted. His grades actually went from Cs and Ds at Brookstown to As,Bs and a couple of Cs in one school year at Westdale he is so happy at this school I know he will excel even more in the 7th grade Thanks to the teachers at Westdale middle for caring enough to teach all kids who are willing to learn and not just the gifted. Also love the no violence tolerated policy. Makes it easier for kids to participate and have fun learning. The teachers are very caring,fair and helpful. GREAT SCHOOL!!!!

I attend Westdale Middle. My name is Ariane Smith, and i am an Eight Grade Gifted student. My favorite teachers has to be Mrs. Smoorenburg and Ms. Anderson. Mrs. Smoorenburg teaches Social Studies, and Ms. Anderson teaches French. I have to say that my favorite student teacher is Ms. Fredrick. She is the student teacher for Social Studies. Last, but not least, my favorite substitute is Mrs. Russell. The assistant principal, Mr. Peoples, is the best. he makes school fun, but at the same time, he keeps children in check, he loves and cares for the school, he treats the students with respect, and he is a great roll model. Ms. Brock, who is the principal, is also a great roll model. She respects students and she does not have problems with anyone, unless you do something wrong. I love Westdale Middle.

I can never forget a school like Westdale. Everything about it just created memories I never forget. Teachers are practical, students are nice, I almost wish I could go back just for old times sake. Even though I only went there for my eight grade year, it felt like I've been there from the beginning. I graduated in 06

I graduated from Westdale in 2007 and I must say that it was a good school and a great enviroment to be in. Every one was nice and helped you when you needed it. My favorite was the athletics (especially track). The coaches were great and made you feel good about your self.
