BEST SCHOOL EVER! they also give great attention to any kid who needs it. I am in 11th grade and the memories from Westview are numerous. Go Bulldogs!


Posted September 4, 2008

I would say that this is a good school but it could be great if certain factors like the school office staff where politer to parents and abit more welcoming. We have only been here a couple of months but academically it definitely has the right feel to it - great big library and good computer rooms. My daughter is in 4th grade and my son is 2nd. So I'm hoping for the best really having come from out of state because I was led to believe that the schools were all good in this district. Certainly it seems very well organised for now.
