Westwood Elementary School

Posted September 16, 2009

I have mixed emotions about Westwood Elementary. In many cases, the faculty and staff have performed in a stellar manor. In others, they have been rather brusk--with students and parents as well. This facility is tremendously over-populated while being under funded and seemingly left for naught while other, newer facilities are expanded and updated so fast that it could make one's head spin. It's not Westwood's fault that there seems to be such a lack of equity within the school district. However, they always seem to want to put education first. Well, done.

I have one son who just is now in middle school after attending Westwood and another who is still at Westwood, and I've loved just about every teacher both have had. The school has had lots of English as a second language students moved into the school in recent years, which is why the test scores are generally lower now than they were in the past. We picked the neighborhood we're in because of Westwood, and I have no regrets about it at all. The staff has been friendly and helpful every time I've dealt with them. Maybe some issues other reviewers have had reflect more the attitude they approached the school with more than the attitude of the faculty.

Our daughter just completed the Westwood Pre-K program and loved every minute of it! Her teacher was very personable. We were always warmly greeted during pick-up and drop-off. Our daughter came home every day having learned something new and was very excited about going to school the next day. We can't wait to see what the next year brings!

We have been at Westwood for a few years now. I really have all kinds of problems with this school. Most of the staff is very inpersomable, they most all of them walk around like they hate thier jobs. They bark at the kids, giving little to as why or what they did wrong. Lunch time is too long of a story to even submitt. The reading program is awful!! I have never seen so many kids behind in reading. We moved here because of the high scores also a few years ago. The school does not reflect those scores, I am not sure how they scored that high unless they left over half the school out.
