"I love this schools. Both of my sons attended since they were in Kindergarten and I only had to say that we were lucky to be here. Outstanding teachers that will work the extra mile to push their students to their limits. Very happy overall."

"When is West Lab going to get smart and let go of the principal? The school has gone from outstanding to lousy due to the poor leadership. Principals should be charismatic, kind with the students and approachable. Very disappointing to see a leader who intimidates the students and has a poor attitude. Never once have seen a smile on her face."

"We had an excellent first year at West Lab. We had an amazing veteran teacher who was willing to work with us to instill our child with a sense of confidence and love of learning. The problem with our school system in FL is the Sunshine State Standards, which tie the teachers' hands and diminish creativity since they are always forced to teach the next benchmark and the next--always preparing for the test, rather than having the freedom to spend creative time enhancing learning material in ways that reach all our learners' styles--visual, read/write, aural and kinesthetic."

"I feel very lucky to be at Westlab. Amazing teachers, great parents and a beautiful campus. Westlab truly is a small community school."

"While the past few reviews do bring up some valid points about the school's administration. Administration can change, but you won't find nicer families anywhere. My child has not had every teacher in the school, but he knows, likes & respects all of them. The teachers that he has had, have all been excellent! He is very happy, loves learning & is excited to go to school every day."
