Westgate Alternative Elementary School Reviews

Westgate is the physical education alternative school in the Columbus Public School District, so kids have phys ed 3 times a week -- a real health bonus and my children love it! The academic and administrative staff is superbly qualified and dedicated to the education of my children, and the extra-curricular instructors (art, music, phys ed) are exceptional. The programs extend beyond typical jump-roping, drawing and sing-a-longs to dynamic education in all aspects, providing in my opinion the most broad yet comprehensive and intensive educational experience we've found in the CPS district. Parents are involved, the principal is approachable and the character of the student body reflects the education they are receiving. One of the best you can find in the CPS.

I think the Parent Consultants at this school do a great job. I also like that the teachers are very involved with the students.

My children have attended Westgate for four years now. This is the best school in the district. My son and daughter enjoy going to this school everyday. The teachers there are the best in the business. I would not have them go to another school but Westgate!

My daughter is ending her first year at Westgate: Kindergarten. She (and we) have had a great experience. Her teacher, Marsha Burkholder is an award winning teacher who really cares about her students. Hope we are blessed with the same style of teaching in First Grade. The Sutton Family
