Westridge Elementary School Reviews

 
This is our first year at Westridge and I can not say enough good things about every aspect of the school. I have observed the principal in the school and she not only knows the parents, she knows the children. They conduct their staff as professionals and lead by example. The children are expected to do their best and with the GT program are given the opportunity to do so. PE, art and Music are exceptional programs and the kids love them.

We are new to this school. The secretary have been a great helper. We are here since August, the principal never say HI to me or even a smile, I don't even know who's the principal or vice principal until three months later. Ok school, but if you are new, you have to work your way to find out all the info you needed. Needed a new leader!

I have two kids at Westridge. I agree with the comments that a new principal is needed! As for the teachers, out of the 8 teachers we have had, several were fantastic teachers and two need to be replaced ASAP! Overall, this is an ok school.

I do not understand any negative comments about Westridge. My student transferred there in the middle of the school year after losing a parent, and had serious personal problems as a result of this loss. All of the staff, Principal and Teachers, were concerned and helpful in getting her over this period. She was ready when shemoved on to Middle School. A GREAT PLACE!! while keeping her on the learning track.

We have two children attending Westridge. Our second oldest is in the GT program and doing very well. He is a year and a half ahead of the typical 6th grader. My oldest attended two Jeffco elementary schools and my second oldest attended three. Westridge is the best overall of the different schools. My youngest (3rd grade) has had three great teachers in a row and is very happy at Westridge. I find the 'leadership' references a little confusing--of course, none of the remarks are specific. I guess that parents base their experience on their child's experience alone. I have had three children (eight years difference between the youngest and the oldest) attend four different Jeffco schools and I believe that Westridge is the best of the four.

My daughter is in their GT programme and I cannot reccommend it enough. Great teachers, wonderful learning environment, friendly office staff, a principle with the right balance between fun and education. A truly exceptional school for any child.

The principle is verry friendly and they are very serious about their learning there.

We have been very disappointed in this school, most notably the principal. I agree with the claim that there is no strong leadership -- in fact I would question there being ANY leadership here. We have opted in to another Jeffco school.

Westridge Elementary School located within the Jefferson County School District is an average school. It used to be a blue ribbon school, but now is lacking a quality principal to lead the school. If your child is the perfect student then it would be fine, but if you have a child in special ed, you will have problems. This will be the last year here for my son. I feel that the teachers take advantage of having tenure. This is a peyton place school. Although, my son had a great 3rd grade teacher, 4th grade has proved tramatic for him. No child should be crying in between classes.

They have a great preschool program, very involved teachers and lots of fun skill building activities. My son loves preschool and is now in his second year at Westridge preschool.
