GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

You can always trust Westridge. All teachers know what they are doing, and they are really nice. We learned a ton, and the school play was amazing. We just graduated from elementary school today, and there were so many parent volunteers helping to make sure the last day was the best. This past school year, we got to do the track meet, volleyball tournament, clapout, and manage field day. We want to thank all the teachers, staff, and parent volunteers for making our school experience the best.
