We've had multiple kids attend this school and have always appreciated the teachers, leadership, and support staff at this school. My kids are genuinely sad when the year ends and are actually excited about going back to see everyone once summer is almost over. This speaks volumes about the caring environment at this school. Everyone in the school obviously cares about the students.At a district level, Westerville has some work to do. Communication throughout the district is poor, district level leadership seems complacent and uninterested, any complaints I would have about the school, in my opinion, are top down issues that are the result of lazy leadership. Hawthorne succeeds in spite of district leadership.

I love the diversity at this school and also it’s strong staff, they will go by all means do as much as they can!!

The teachers, most staff, and leadership at this school are great. My kids have liked almost all of the teachers they've had. As a parent, teachers are personable and always willing to share feedback about progress as well as listen. The school clinic is a concern if you have a child that will regularly need their services. Currently, clinic staff is inexperienced and borderline clueless. They are often away from the clinic, hanging out in other areas of the school instead of using free time to refine skills and better learn their jobs. This is the biggest blemish on what is otherwise an excellent school. Personally, I just tell my kids to call home if they don't feel well.Definitely recommend unless you need clinic support, in which case just make sure you hold the staff accountable. Even the district leader of clinic staff is ineffective. She has no medical background and is very clueless about basic medical needs. Hopefully this changes soon and I can update my review.Otherwise Westerville schools are ok, but district administration seems like they don't care. Issues are treated like inconveniences. I've seen multiple instances where school staff are ignored and not provided the support they need (usually pretty basic stuff that would require minimal effort and no cost).I like the school but not the district... It's better than Columbus but I'm convinced Worthington, Gahanna, or Olentangy are better.
