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
Posted by a parent on 9/15/2025Love 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
Posted by a parent on 10/1/2023Westside in general has been a great decision for our family. My oldest is finishing up 8th grade & my middle is going into Westside Middle School in 2 years with an IEP. I am interested in seeing the difference between their experiences.

Posted by a parent on 10/15/2019Two sets of rules. One for rich kids and one for everyone else. Rich kids bully the heck out of everyone and the deans and principal turn a blind eye. Blame the victim even.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers/administrators at this school are non supportive to each other. Criticize each other behind each others back. This is also true of the leaders at kw. Principal continues to talk bad about the staff behind their backs. Don’t bother going to corporate. You are only retaliated against. Even with new “leadership”. They KNOW there’s a culture issue there and do nothing about it. All of this can be why the students are NOT making academic progress. Why all test scores are below average and why attendance is low.Other Review2y ago - Mockingbird Elementary School
