Let's see start with the positive:
The curriculum is demanding and requires my son to apply himself daily to ensure he gets a good grade. He is given the tools needed and the material covered is fairly balanced.
The school campus is adequate, focusing resources on maintaining educational neceseties rather than "nice to have" (huge sports facilities and etc..)
Now for the raison d'être of this review; bullying and the "small pond / big fish" nature of The Westfield School.
If you find yourself relocating from a big city and or are a well-traveled, i.e., cultured individual. You will soon notice the glaring sectarian nature of the school. Your kid(s) are the outsider and the students, whose grandparents, parents, uncles who also attended this school, will make sure to painfully remind your kid(s) that they "are not from around here" by constantly harrasing and bullying your child.
And on account of the above you and your kid(s) will sadly experience the infamous Orwellian quote "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". The Westfield School administration will address the bullying/harassment of your child, depending of course of the perpetrator. The solution, luckily for you, is just donate more money than the aforementioned individual's family. So pull some overtime at work and or go to your local pawn shop.
I was warned about this situation by a friend, and in my obstinacy, I still registered my son in this school. Foolishly and conceited believing that any private school is better than public. But as the good book says "Pride goeth before destruction..."
So allow me to give you the same warning as my friend did, and I hope you learn from my folly. Reconsider your decision and if possible find another institution.
I support and agree with other reviews in this and any other platform when it comes to the bullying in this school and the lack of resolute actions.

My son went to Westfield and graduated in 2019. Six years later, he says it was the worst experience of his life. He was bullied for six years there and no matter what conversations were had with leadership at the school, Nothing happened. The bullying was continued due to the fact it was the popular and money kids doing the bullying. Six years later, my son is suffering due to his experience at Westfield. He said if he could change one thing in his life that wouldve been going to Westfield. As a parent, you feel like you failed your child, but in reality, it was the school that failed the child. I have friends now that have kids at Westfield and the bullying has been allowed to continue. The kids with money are protected, and the kids without or not. Due to the bullying his education he received was poor as well. Teachers never recognized what was going on and no matter how many times I went to the school my concerns were ignored. I thought I was doing the right thing for my child only to find out that the Westfield School failed him.

No student or teacher or coach will be perfect all of the time. Not all families can afford private school tuition. Priorities do change like the seasons, but we have found Westfield to be a great place for our children to be educated. Super appreciative of the friendly staff and families who make Westfield home.

this school has a huge racial problem . all the boys there are extremely homophobic and racist . they have encouraged my son to bring these traits home with him , which is very disappointing. the student body is unwelcoming , and will talk about anyone and everyone behind their backs . i do not want my children around these types of kids . the teachers never address any of it and its very disappointing. one thing i have a major problem with is that my daughter was forced to lock her phone in a box all day so she wouldnt be distracted . but it gave me huge worries that if something happened i wouldnt be able to reach her as quickly . overall i would never send my child here again

Westfield School is an outstanding school in a warm, loving, Christ-Centered environment! It has high academic standards, wonderful teachers, a caring environment, and am amazing number of extra curricular activities, including sports, theatre, music, art, and a number of clubs for students! I highly recommend this school to those seeking a private, Christian school for their children.

Im a current Westfield parent (4th year). After reading some reviews here I thought Id provide my own insight. Westfield is a superior school in comparison. Their maneuvers through COVID were impressive. Everything from academics to communication to events is carefully and thoughtfully planned out and executed superbly. My child has ADHD, and the teachers always reach out when their are concerns with work/behavior. They want a good working relationship between parent/teacher. There are additional things the school provided for special needs like this however it comes at a cost because its a private school. They expect excellence and to always do your best work. I have found they care on a deep level for each student and reach out if they are not hitting milestones. They get concerned if they believe someone is struggling. My child is in lower school and does have difficulty doing the work sometimes because its challenging. However, I see they set the children up for success and I love their teaching methods, good Christian environment, and dedication to academic excellence. There are people here is money and people that make sacrifices to be here. I understand the comments about outsiders as an adult. However, my child has not experienced this and its worth it in my opinion for the education and environment. The teachers are great! Bullying I found Westfield to be very responsive to even small acts of being unkind. I found they always push kindness and emphasize inclusive behavior.

This school has a major issue with bullying that the administration never addresses. This school is not welcoming to outsiders. I had 3 children here in lower, middle and upper. It was the worst experience my children ever went through. Luckily we moved. I would not recommend this school at all.

Some wonderful teachers are in this school but the culture and the student body are not welcoming or kind. Not a place for outsiders.

If you are looking for a school with outstanding academics, that provides a strong Christian foundation, good teachers, and a wonderful opportunity for extracurricular activities for students, Westfield School is the right school for your child or children.

This school has great faculty! Take a look at the high school and you'll notice a few highly beloved teachers. Specifically, Coach PP comes to mind. Easily the best teacher out there. She always has a gameplan, shares strategy to defeat the other team(tests, essays), uses all of her players (even the bench and waterboy!), and she even works overtime so her players don't have to. On the weekends, Coach PP draws up plays using her players' essays as her inspiration. How can you not love Coach PP? Come to Westfield and you can experience the legacy of Coach PP

My child moved from a public school to a private school and the boost in his self confidence was amazing.

There have been times when I thought it was too much, but as it turns out a study hall period was offered.
Posted: July 9, 2015
There are no locks on the lockers and book bags and sports bags are left open all of the time. Nothing ever goes missing and when items are misplaced and are later found, they are returned to the rightful owner or sent to the lost and found. My child misplaced a couple of books and a jacket and sweatshirt over the years and they were always returned.

Westfield seems to be having serious Administrative hiring issues lately. The last head was a poor leader and inexperienced but the current head is an immature know-it-all who seems to lack direction! Where this school is headed is a big unknown! A handful of parents seem to run the school and the kids do not respect authority at all! Most of the teachers are able and qualified but I know several recent "cheap hires" who are not! I have been associated with Westfield for several decades and have never seen this level of administrative incompetence. The board better wake up on this before it's too late!

I have 3 children that attend Westfield. It is a great school with a Christian atmosphere.
Posted: December 6, 2013
horrible horrible horrible I would not recommend this school to anyone. Teachers that have been there for a while are some of the best there are. The new additions to the teaching staff and administration seem to be the problem.

A great indoctrination into right wing, ultra conservative thinking. Just look at the lack of diversity and you'll understand what this school is all about.
Posted: August 7, 2013
This School is not what the Alumni think it is, they talk about this place as if they have blinders on. They have not been anywhere else. They do not offer the diversity you can receive in the public system. I have had children in both systems they do not a have Honors program; AP classes are not the same as Honors. Also you do not have to pay an outrageous tuition. Westfield student are also sheltered from the real world and they experience a huge culture shock when the go to college and they are not spoon fed everything

I would definitely recommend Westfield to anyone looking for a great education in a Christian environment for their children. I have been extremely pleased with Westfield. From the faculty and classroom teaching to the athletics and other extracurricular activities, the Westfield experience is a great one! The average SAT scores are more than 200 points above the local school system's average (as well as state and national average), and 100% of the students are accepted to college. Great AP classes too. Very thankful that my children have the opportunity to receive their education at Westfield.

I am not a student at this school nor is anyone in my family. I came to this site looking for information after three years of witnessing loutish and bullying behavior at athletic events by a portion of the student body. I see now that my perceptions have been on point. If bullying and antagonistic behavior are tolerated and even encouraged I can fully understand some of the poor ratings on this site. They are directly in line with the experiences of many visiting teams and families. Fine christian environment indeed.
