Excellent caring teachers and the principal is very involved with the students
—Submitted by a parent


Posted August 15, 2005

Westside, is a great school for the community. I have one daughter that attended, and one daughter that is in the 6th grade now. The faculty is very organised, and very caring towards the children and the parents. I have always been able to contact the principal,Mr.Freddy Curtis and received a reply the same day. Mr. Curtis has really made a difference in my daughter's education. My daughter loves going to school there, and looks forward to going every morning. The faculty are always kind, and really care about the students. West Side is a very safe enviroment for the children, Mr. Curtis, is never to busy to talk to the parents, and if there is a dispute between children, the parents are informed, Over all,I know WestSide is a great school.
