School Reviews

5  
As a teacher at Westlake, I love our community and families so much! I'm also a parent with two students here, and I enjoy the smaller class sizes as well as the teachers! Most teachers have advanced degrees and have experience with counseling, which only helps our growing kiddos and as they navigate into middle school! We love our Westlake family!
