Columbia Elementary School

All three of my children attended here , Kindergarten through 6th grade and had a wonderful, successful experience led by highly qualified, compassionate teachers and staff. Best school EVER!

I am writing this review to document my experience with this school as a parent. My concern is not with individual teachers, but with administrative handling of student safety, communication, and accountability.There have been multiple instances where I was not notified in a timely manner regarding my child’s health and safety, including situations that reasonably required immediate parental awareness. In addition, there have been ongoing concerns regarding how incidents between students are documented, investigated, and communicated to parents.Requests for records and clarification have often been met with incomplete responses or delays, which makes it difficult for a parent to fully understand what occurred and how decisions were made. Transparency and consistency should be a priority in any school environment, especially when it involves student safety and disciplinary actions.I strongly encourage the school and district to review their procedures for incident reporting, parent notification, and record-keeping to ensure that all families are properly informed and supported.Every child deserves to feel safe at school, and every parent deserves clear, timely, and accurate communication.

Westside Elementary is a wonderful school. The principal is amazing as well as all the support staff and teachers! We are one big family. Rest assured your child will be loved and protected!

We currently have a 2 yr old in the Early Childhood Center. On the first day, I was very impressed with the setting up of the class and our child's teacher. After making the decision on sending our 2 yr child to daycare, I was slightly worried that our 2 yr old would fuss on her 1st day since this would be her first time leaving home to a new surrounding. Boy, was I wrong! Our child was so happy on her first day there. When I went back to pick her up at the end of her first day, she was not ready to go home. What was even more impressive, the teacher was able to give me a detailed report of how our child interact with the other children and how adaptive she was. The teacher already understood my child persona: eating, sleeping, and learning pattern. I would definitely recommend this Early Childhood to any other parents who want the very best for their child/ren.
