Westmont Elementary School

Great school , My son graduated from this school. We are not rich ,but we value friendships . We are Hispanic, we love our friends at Westmont, we never felt excluded.

My son broken his ankle at break time in morning, school did not even call parents at all. When I picked up at noon, he walked abnormal to my car, I asked what's happened? He was cried out and said I failed down at playground in break time in the morning, I went to nurse office, nurse put ice on it but I was very hurt and cried in class. I had pull car park to curb and saw his big pump in his ankle , then I took him directly to ER Hospital in HB, after Xray dr. said he got fractured. I was so shocked and sad about it because if school call parents at that time he failed in the morning, he may be not walked from class to office and back to class and walked to gate...then he may be not got worst like this. I knew that day was graduation day for 5th grader, school was busy but this is very serious problem, they should care about it, when parents trust school leave kids to school, school should takecare wells. He got back school in person in 5weeks after school shut down as pandamic, then he had at home all his summer in few months for negligent of teacher. I came back school pick up his stuff in next days, I saw manager office, then I asked WHY SCHOOL DID NOT CALL ME AT THAT TIME to take home or see dr.? Manager said: Oh, sorry, we not doctors so we dont know his hurt...OMG if they saw kids failed and cried , they should know they're hurt, they should call parents ASAP....this is very sad and bad experienced in this Westmont, we can walk to this school from home, but now I dont feel trust and safe to my kid, I move my child to an other school. I had to write down this story here, hope other parents can read message.

This school does a great job of treating each student as a valued member of the school community. My child loves all of the visual and performing arts incorporated into his school day.

Its our first year here and my children love this school. My kindergartener didn’t want to stay home sick she begged to go to school. My fourth grader loves her teacher and the principal. It’s an amazing community.

My son transferred to this school from another in the district due to the VAPA designation and focus Westmont adopted this year. The programming offered to the students is incomparable to others around. They recently received a grant to begin teaching 4th and 5th graders orchestra. They offer dance and music as well as opportunities for upper grades to perform in their yearly musical. Recently the school purchased keyboards to go along with their ST math program. My son had a wonderful experience at his previous elementary school but he never expressed the positive feelings that he currently does on a daily basis. Every single day he wakes up excited to go to school and every afternoon he exclaims that it was his, "BEST DAY EVER!!!" I am an educator in our district and can personally attest to the amazing teachers and leadership at this school. Transferring my son to this school has been the best decision we ever made.
