I feel very fortunate to be a staff member at this school! There is a welcoming feeling and great commaraderie among the staff. The teachers and administration do everything in their power to make this school the very best it can be, and they care deeply about every single student's education. Plus, there is tremendous parental involvement witht the community club.

Westbrook Elementary is a fantastic school for kids. The teachers are outstanding and the school really caters to the kids that need the help and the ones that are a above average and need the challenge. You will not find a bad teacher at Westbrook and the schools Community Club(PTO) are very focused on improving the school and the experience the students have during their time in the school.

I am a parent of a special needs child. We came to Westbrook from a farm community school. The staff at Westbrook has always taken the time to ensure that she has the best possible education. They are always available to address any concerns I may have about her quality of work. I am very proud to call Westbrook home. The families I have met here are friendly and very open.

Most of the Westbrook staff goes above and beyond to provide our children with a great education. The parent community is outstanding and has made our first years easy and comforting. I would recomend Westbrook to anyone wanting a large school to allow the children to grow independently with great respect for others differences but with a small school feel.
