Love the Westside school district. Teachers and administration is excellent. They are better funded than OPS and have high standards for the children & parents. If your child isn't academically inclined or you have no interest in having an active roll in your child's education, go somewhere else. If all you want to do is make excuses for your child for why they aren't doing well in class, go somewhere else. This is a school with HIGH standards for the students & the parents.

The class sizes are very appropriate with most who have student teachers. We moved into a new development and the school helped with transportation. This is a top of the line school with new technology and no expspense spared when it comes to your childs education. The staff is friendly and willing to make the best plan possible to assist your child in the classroom, at home or even with tutors. The principal was a teacher at this school and strives to have an amazing school with great scores. He sits on the PTA and listens to parent concerns, while providing great feedback. I would recommend this school to everyone I know.

I’ve waited to write this because I didn’t want to do it in anger. Three years ago, my child was being badly picked on at this middle school. At first the school responded well, and the kids involved were facing consequences. But then those same kids called my son on Discord and tried to manipulate him into changing his story so they’d get off the hook. When I brought evidence of this to the principal, she accused me of “causing drama” and of trying to trick students, rather than protecting my child. My son had been manipulated for years, and instead of standing with him, the principal belittled me and failed us. The elementary and high schools in this district are much better run, but the middle school’s leadership failed my child when he needed them most.
