"I've done my research and will have to agree Westwoods is a great school. The front office could use a refresh as the front desk ladies don't appear to like their jobs as they are unfriendly and not helpful. They do not give a good first impression."

"The school has demonstrated considerable improvement in the last year to extend high potential children and offer them additional challenges for subjects where they excel. For example, my daughter was placed in a math group that concentrated on math skills 2 years above her grade level. Likewise, my third grader has been given additional projects through 'Wolfpack' to dig deeper into content areas. I don't believe these extensions are available, however, for children younger than 3rd grade. In addition, this year we saw a significant increase in the availability of extra curricular activities after school. For a nominal fee, students can participate in art, foreign language and theater classes. Parent support is very high at this school leading to high expectations. This may be the reason the school has experienced an unfortunate turnover in principals. Nonetheless, teachers are high caliber in every grade."

"I agree with the two previous reviews. This school is fine for students who are average or struggling - they are very concerned about their CSAP ratings, so any extra classroom help is geared toward helping those kids who may pull their scores down. Children who are above-average are not served at all, it seems that very little attempt is made to challenge them. Many feel that Westwoods is an 'excellent' school, but base this only on their CSAP scores. It's unfortunate because this school has the parent support to do so much more. In addition, many have found the overall atmosphere in the front office unwelcoming and unhelpful, which makes the overall experience less than it should be."
