I recently graduated from this school and I think that for learning wise this school is amazing. The teachers make sure that everyone is getting the help they need and that they are supporting everyone. However, in general I wouldn't send a kid of my own to this school nor would I want to come back
Posted by a community member on 6/21/2026worst school ever for education, safety sucks, their supervisors don’t even pay attention at students also the supervisors are really young about 18-30 all they do is talk to the “popular” students and don’t focus and the playground when there is a fight, took a whole 2 minutes to notice there was a
Posted by a student on 6/21/2026I enrolled my child at this school after a family friends child attended and graduated from Katherine Stem. I later returned for a school tour that was hosted by the former principal, and things seemed very promising. Unfortunately, by the time my child started school we were informed that there is
Posted by a parent on 3/9/2026The principal, teachers and staff were very welcoming and engaging with the students. They displayed genuine interest in the students’ wellbeing and learning both inside and outside of the classroom and their care was seen, felt and appreciated. Thank you KJSA for all you do!

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been part of the Westside Neighborhood School community for the past 10 years, and it has been an incredibly positive experience for our family. Three of our four children have attended WNS, and our youngest is now an 8th grader preparing to matriculate out, sadly.What stands out most about WNS is the strong sense of community and the school’s genuine commitment to diversity in the student population, administration, and faculty/staff. Our children have been surrounded by classmates and educators from a wide range of backgrounds, which has enriched their learning experience and helped them develop empathy, curiosity, and confidence.The teachers are deeply dedicated and truly know their students, balancing academic rigor with emotional and social growth. Communication with families is excellent, and we’ve always felt supported and included in our children’s educational journey.After a decade at WNS, we can confidently say it has provided our kids with an exceptional foundation both academically and personally. We’re so grateful for the warm, inclusive environment and the lifelong friendships our family has built here.If you’re considering WNS, we can’t recommend it highly enough! It’s a wonderful place for children to learn, grow, and thrive.Parent Review8mo ago - Westchester Lutheran School
