Ive noticed there arent any recent reviews since theyve rebuilt Westmont but, this school is amazing. My child who is a first grader enjoys this school so much. The whole staff engages with students and is very good at updating the parents of any school events, issues, and child progress. The teacher to student ratio is amazing too. Not only great for the students but the teachers as well! We love it here!

Just an update as I see there are no current reviews (2025). The school has had many changes; new building, new principal, new teachers and other staff members. My kids love going to WES, the staff members are always nice and teachers keep us parents updated about school activities. They send us newsletters, communicate when there's any behavioral issues with our kids, and so far, they have been doing a great job at replying all my questions promptly.

This school is beyond terrible and it starts with Tami Flowers. She makes decisions based on personal feelings rather than being objective. Teachers appear to just not care about what they are contributing to the children, but waiting to retirement. Teachers showing up for scheduled meetings in leggings, Ugg boots, and a t-shirt. Looked completely unprofessional. We literally moved to get our kids out of this terrible environment.

Pretty much a positive experience. The teachers seem to be kind and concerned about the kids. Our grandson has told us that there is some bulling. Not, sure about that. We're not there all day. Also, in the lunch room, he dropped his pizza last week. And, he says there was no one to help him. Therefore he had no lunch..

Our Grandson has had difficulty with reading. The teachers really didn't seem to want to address this. They talked about holding him back a grade, last year. So, we enrolled him into Sylvan Learning Center. To bring up his read comprehension. We're hoping if this is an issue, this year that it is addressed before the end of the year! Last year he was made to sit out in the hall or he was isolated from the other students. He needs to have positive attention, not negative attention.

Westmont is a great school!
Both of my daughters went there for Pre-K through 5th grade, one is in 9th grade now and the other in 7th. My son started there in kindergarten and is now in the second grade. We have NEVER had any major problems with the school or the staff. Everyone there has always been very nice and seems to really care about the students. Every single time that I have had a question or concern, the teachers and/or administration have been willing to listen to me and the issue was taken care of.
GREAT STAFF --- KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

The principal at this school is whimsical and a perfect example of the Peter principle. A lot of the teachers are fantastic and passionate about education and their students but I have witnessed others treat students with special circumstances with contempt (borderline bullying).

There needs to be teachers with more compassion for students female AND male with special needs and circumstances.

This school is falling apart. It is in a state of disrepair, from the inside to the disgraceful sports fields outside. There are rodents in the building and the administration does not do enough to combat bullying behavior. In terms of academics, this school does not measure up to schools in neighboring districts.

My daughter started 3rd grade at Westmont this year and came from being in private school for several years. The staff has been very supportive in her transition which has been a little tough. Her teacher has supported her and given us ideas to help. As long you communicate with them and stay involved, I have found so far that the entire staff will go above and beyond to help your child and you. I am very happy with our experience at Westmont so far.

We love our school and the staff. The bookkeeping for after school care could use some improvement.

the school is great but there are some problems the lunch staff keeps the students like prisoners and don't even get me started on the kindergarden teachers i feel they need to replace some lunch staff

Treats its student and parent with NO respect. Its adminstration thinks it is better than than the rest of us.

Very poor. They do NOT treat their students fair and are even worse to the parents.

everyone knows that westmont is the best school!!. but is not, well tell you the reason ,some teachers in the westmont school are mean. seems like they are lazy teaching the kids!!1...they will send a bunch of home work and have to be done a day..and this is my concern, some kids pee on their pans because teacher is ignore by them.!!thats why some kids is scared to talk some times!!!...some teachers charge your student a crime that is inappropriate.i m not the only parent complaining this situation.

I grudgingly give this school an "average" rating because I think most of the teachers and the administration are good. However the security is pretty lax here and the supervision on the playground inadequate. In 2nd grade my son was being tossed around on the playground by 4th graders and no one noticed! The Horizons program is excellent but overall for the most part the parents are uninvolved and there is a degree of kids picking on other kids that I believe is being overlooked.

My daughter has gone to Westmont 1st-4th grade & I couldn't be happier. The school works together and give off a family like feel where all the teachers seem like they really care. Westmont is also home to Columbia County's Gifted Program which my daughter attends. My daughter has really developed a joy for learning and I just hope Middle school will be as great!
