I have had mixed experiences with Westwood Primary. I'll go into more detail about specific teachers later though. I have 2 children who are currently attending and have been since Pre-K. When my oldest son first started school it was an awesome place to have him. However, this past year there has been a lot of new teachers added, a new principal, and it remains to be seen how these changes are going to affect the overall atmosphere and education experience. One plus is that it isn't too big of a school so most of the staff and even teachers know most of the kids who attend so I feel like it is a safe school as opposed to a bigger city or even a larger school. Everyone knows everyone and if a child was to be acting "off" in any way I really believe someone would pick up on it before anything tragic occured.
