My experience at Westfield has been great. I love this school! My children have been able to participate in school plays (where everyone gets a part), take part in art programs, and enjoy programs (Business, lego league, etc...) that I have never seen at other schools! They have great teachers who care about them, and a strong community of parents who volunteer and pitch in to bring additional programs and classroom help when needed. I am grateful for this school and the opportunity my children have to attend.

My family has been at Westfield for seven years and we love it! The teachers are phenomenal and really care about the students. I have yet to experience a teacher we don't like. Principal Thomas runs a great school and is always willing to listen to and help parents. The parents in this community are amazing too. There is so much support for great PTA programs and in-class volunteers. I appreciate that Westfield offers the ALL Program for advanced students, as well as daily extra help for students who need it. Westfield values achievement and boasts high test scores, but doesn't neglect character and complete development of students as good human beings. It is a happy place and I feel lucky my kids get to attend here.

They offer many extracurricular programs for the students that range from athletics, to music, to amazing theater performances, etc. They do a good job of including all of the students in the options given. They also encourage and receive an amazing amount of volunteer help from the parents and community. The teaching staff are great. They work well with parents, address any concerns timely and show respect to the students.

Westfield Elementary is an amazing school! Within 2 weeks of attending kindergarten my daughter was reading & loving it. The teachers are involved with each and every student. They have come to my children's birthday parties and sporting events to show their support and take an active interest in every childs education and learning style. The PTA has an exceptionaly high level of parental participation as well. The principal takes a hands on role and knows each student by first name and makes it a point to make all feel valued and appreciated. My daughter attended a very pricey pre-school before and would cry and not want to go to school, within days of starting at Westfield she couldn't wait to get to school. Even now, two year later, in anticipation of school starting on Aug 20th she has been singing, "Merry Christmas Westfield Elementary, Merry Christmas Westifield Elementary, May your Christmas be all that's it's meant to be, when you gather round the Christmas tree we wish you a very Merry Christmas from Westfield Elementary!" The volunteer MOM art program is amazing the play performed was nothing short of professional & thoroughly enjoyable. They bring education to life.
