Westview School Reviews

Westview School is a school for students with special needs. I have never been around so many teachers, administration and students who like to teach want to go to school and care about the kids. This is my grandson second year attending this school. He has changed 350degrees with his attitude in everyday life and wanting to go to school. I am pround to be a grandma of a child that goes to Westview.

Westview made a world of difference for my son and our family. At Westview, faculty and staff know how to serve our son's learning style and needs and they are helping him to become successful. Other schools made promises they couldn't keep. Westview has delivered. We are all grateful and less stressed. Our son is happy going to school.

Our son started at Westview struggling in every way -- academically, socially, and physically. He is now earning all As and Bs, is involved in Student Government and plays on two sports teams. The greatest success however, is the self confidence that he has been able to develop while at Westview. Before enrolling at Westview he simply froze on exams. While he still struggles some, he is able to take exams without the overwhelming anxiety that he previously experienced. Our son will graduate next spring and will be continuing at a four year college in the fall -- far beyond our wildest dreams. Westview has taken the lost and out of place child we entrusted to their educational direction and care and returned a motivated, confident young man with a vision and dream for his future.

The Westview Schools unique program made such a huge impact on our daughters education. It supported her strengths and helped her to deal with her weaknesses in a strong and supportive environment. We as a family believed it made all the difference in who our child is today. She is a self asssured, independent student and we owe that to Westview. The staff and the program are topnotch, and they recognize each child for their individuaity,which helps them become mainstream members of society. The Westview school is a lifeline to families that realize their child is not making it in a mainstream school. We are proud to be a Westview Family.

Westview has been a lifesaver for my child with ADHD. Although he is very bright, he could not function in a traditional high school setting. At Westview, his learning differences are acknowledged and accommodated. The staff is caring, skilled and accessible. Each student has an hour a week with a counselor. What a plus! The school in now in a brand new state-of-the art campus. All in all, we are delighted with Westview.

Westview is a school for kids having difficulties in regular school. Although the kids are 'high-functioning' it still has a special-ed flavor, with classes that accommodate all levels of student. Involved staff, counselors, and activies.

This is a school which specializes in kids with ADD, learning delays, and mild emotional difficulties. It is academically rigorous and may be the right choice for some people who otherwise would not graduate. There is a great deal of parental involvement. At the time my child attended there I was extremely pleased with the academic process and the teachers. However in retrospect I realize that many of the kids who go there are somewhat traumatized for a variety of reasons, and if your child has been sheltered it may not be the right choice.
