Westridge Elementary School

This school is not for children that have IEP. The staff and teachers have zero training on accommodations that children with disabilities may require. Be ready to advocate for your children. The special education teachers are quick to recommend medications when in reality they are the ones that need up-to date training on special education. The teachers arent trained to implement IEP with integrity. They base their decision on personal feelings rather than whats best for the student. The staff and teachers are unwelcoming. It is not an inclusive school at all. They also share information about your children with other parents which is very unprofessional.

If you have an lEP, or concerns, or a child with extra energy, be ready to fight just to see your kids make mediocre progress, while the school claims they have done an amazing job. The teachers are not collaborative and seem perturbed when a student needs anything extra. The staff is claiming they are making progress and blowing off parent concerns. Be ready to advocate for your children. The teachers arent trained to implement IEP with integrity. They base their decision on personal feelings rather than whats best for the student.this was the worst experience by far.

Parents beware, this school is only good for neurotypical children but for children with disabilities this school is too limited and doesn't offer support. We had an awful experience. They tend to spend the minimum sources for children with disabilities and keep them in an non inclusive secluded environment which is detrimental for them to thrive. Not to mention that the teacher turnover rate is very high.

We loved this school while we were here. You feel a sense of family community ant the school and can tell everyone genuinely loves their job and has a passion for teaching. They support military students, special needs, gifted and more which is nice. I highly recommended this school and principal, teachers, staff and admin here are amazing!
