The administration of the school is apparently under average. Very minimum communication between teacher and parents. I totally can see my kids are generally loosing their interest on math. Their grades are from A dropper’s to C. Won’t recommend this school at all. All of our neighbors have same opinions on Westridge . The administration treat kids unfairly regarding bully issue.

The teachers are great. However the administration is the worst. I was singled out because I hate a late enrollee for kindergarten. We were unsure about the student starting so by pediatrician recommendation we waited to see how summer went. When we enrolled we were denied bus transportation bc of the late enrollement. The main transportation was called and said there’s no reason why the school couldn’t have enrolled her in the busses. And ever since then my child has consistently been singled out. Sent home for no other symptoms other then a cough but due to COVID it’s okay. Even offered to get a negative COVID test and that wasn’t sufficient. Had to see a medical professional and have a different diagnosis and a negative COVID test. Every two weeks. Never had any other symptoms or fever. They either do not want students there or specifically don’t want my student there.

My oldest is in his fourth year at Westridge and my twins are in their second year there. Westridge is an excellent school. Teachers are incredibly devoted to the kids. The principal mentioned in a previous review is not the principal, Dr. Dan Geisler is and he is wonderful. All of the staff are very involved, caring and do everything they can to meet the needs of the kids. Everyone at the school is very responsive to any concerns and adapt to what each child needs. I am very pleased as well with the variety and depth of the curriculum. I also appreciate the diversity in the school and the way they teach the kids to embrace and appreciate each other's differences and culture.

My kid is currently in the second grade, but so far everything has been really wonderful. The teachers have been excellent and he has fit in so well.

Principle Lance Wheeler is the reason this school is horrible. I cannot believe as a parent he belittled me called me names. I will go forward and complain to the school bored this is unacceptable as well as the BBB I will put in a formal complaint. Please do not send your kids to this school! There are many great schools in the area with principles that care.
