I have two children at Westowne ES. I have been more than pleasantly surprised with our experiences this far. Academically speaking, my children have been challenged despite being at the top of their class. While we have not had any issues, those we know who have had them have reached resolution with the principal/powers that be in a satisfactory manner. I have been asked to volunteer not just in my children's' classes but also as a general volunteer with other classes. Non-volunteering parents are not looked down upon however! They may not have a lot going on with regard to their extracurricular activities but they are working on that with new programs coming in the 2012-2013 school year.
This is my kids first year at Westowne. I believe Westowne is the next best thing to private school. The principal runs that school with an iron fist. They always have fun activities going on. The teachers are on point and my son is doing better curriculum wise since he's been there. My daughter's kindergarten teacher is good with the kids in her classroom. I have no complaints with Westowne other than they need air conditioning. But I hear they are working on that.
Its a great school , my son has really learned alot a westowne and the principal and staff are great .
Wonderful teachers and a dedicated principal.
I love Westowne for many reasons. My brothers and I went to this school and now so do my children! My son is now in High school, but he learned so much from the teachers, and staff at Westowne. My son has ADHD and BiPolar, but they helped him through school with no problems. My daughter has Autism. She is in Westowne as of now. This is her third year. I was so worried about how she was going to learn, and about her saftey. I didn't even want to leave her there alone. So for the first few weeks of her 1st year of Pre-K, the teacher let me hang around, and even help out. Just so I could make sure that my little girl was comfortable. I am so happy with the Special Ed classes and the wonderfull teachers they have! They all are so great! My daughter has come so far in the past couple of years, all because of thier help. I would recomend sending any child to this school! A+++
We have 2 kids attending Westowne and am consistently impressed by their committed and caring teachers and staff!
My son has done very well at Westowne and seems to enjoy everything about it. My daughter graduated from Westowne and is still doing well in her next school.
My daughter started Kindergarten at Westowne in the Fall of 2006. I am so impressed with everything she has learned. The staff at Westowne is terrific. They are warm, friendly and always courteous. There has never been a time when I felt uncomfortable or when I requested information or anything else, that it wasn't addressed promptly. The standards at Westowne are comparable to sending your child to Private School. Sometimes I wish I could spend the day there........and I would if I wasn't working. It is the warmest place I know. Thanks Westowne for being so GREAT!
All 3 of my kids go to this school now and so far my son and daughter like it. However there are no sports programs for them to participate in which I'm not too happy about. Outside is as important as inside class time.
I have 4 wonderful children who attend Westowne and I feel very fortunate they do! From the second you enter the front doors for the first time or the 50th time you are greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. The staff is very talented and caring and they go the extra mile. They really want what is best for the children academically and socially. I am amazed by the dedication of the staff. I have also met some amazing parents whose children attend Westowne. My children also have made great friends.
