All bullying gets swept right under the rug and reworded in their own favor. Physical abuse is always a "misunderstanding". Don't let the joneses foo you

Great school with teachers who care and connect with students.

Do not move to Westfield! All Westfield schools are overcrowded, with the highschool being the worst. The highschool is so crowded with almost 3000 students (and growing) that the 9-10 graders do not get a locker, so the students have to carry all of their belongings with them as they literally run from one end to the other. The classes are regularly being subbed so the flow in teaching is always miniscule. The teachers that are supposed to watch students during lunch periods are too busy chatting with others to see outright physical attacks made on students by students, which did happen to one of my kids. ICP classes are all full so students do not get the extra tutoring that the school keeps relying on to overcome the miniscule sub teaching. But yet the Administration is overly concerned about my kids being legitimately sick & off school even though they both get A's & B's; if the school demanded that all kids with s/s of illness use hand sanitizer & wear disposable masks to lessen disease from spreading, then maybe kids will get sick less and miss less days. On a different tangent, Westfield Government is allowing more unaffordable apartments to be built instead of single-family housing, which is adding to the overcrowding of Westfield as a whole, and changing all intersections into roundabouts as they've been doing does not fix the problem. We highly regret our decision to build & move to Westfield.

My son has attended this school since kindergarten and is now in first grade. Unfortunately, his kindergarten experience was largely negative. A significant factor was the school’s decision to keep a teacher’s aide in the classroom who repeatedly targeted my child with yelling and aggressive behavior. Despite multiple reports of this conduct ( just just us but other teachers in this school has told me she does this to most students), the aide was allowed to remain.As my son transitioned into first grade, it became clear that he had already been labeled as a “problem.” On the very first day, his new teacher stated she had been told he had issues in kindergarten. Since then, my child has been disproportionately scrutinized and disciplined for behaviors that other students engage in without consequence.He has been physically and verbally attacked by other students in classrooms, hallways, and common areas. When he defended himself, he was punished and is now labeled a bully. We have raised these concerns repeatedly with staff and administration at multiple levels, yet there has been no meaningful change in how my child is treated. Instead, there appears to be a consistent pattern of adults protecting one another and placing blame solely on a first-grade child rather than holding grown professionals accountable.Students have threatened my son, kicked and pushed him, called him names, and even told him that family members would harm him. These incidents have resulted in little to no response from the school. To be clear, my child is six years old.At this point, it is evident that bullying is pervasive within this school, involving not only students but also teachers and aides. After exhausting every reasonable avenue, we no longer feel our child is safe in this environment. As a result, we plan on withdrawing him and transitioning to homeschooling
