All 3 of my kids have attended Westchester and have thrived. The school has great teachers, a new administration (principal and vice principal) this year with decades of experience in Kirkwood and other St. Louis Schools (private and public), and top notch academic support services.

The current administration does not support any part of the parents or family’s goals of pushing students to thrive. Decisions are clearly made about our children with no input from parents, and made to better service the school’s needs and desires. The students are simply the vehicle for the staff to achieve their quotas and tracking parabolas. The parents are hardly allowed to see what occurs behind those closed doors. There is also a COMPLETE lack of professionalism in the hallways. Admin wears ragged sweatshirts, teachers wear everything from stilettos to crocs, there is no example being set for the students. Poor experience all around!

Great school that is long-established in the Kirkwood Community. The school even has a great wooded area adjacent to the school.

Westchester educators meet the needs of every aspect of my childrens education. They are wonderful in teaching the whole child physically, mentally and socially. The parent involvement is tremendous! What a great school community!
