The community of the school creates a great environment for a Christian school. The school body has a very unified body and properly challenges each student in academics. The facilities are older and are in need of some repair and updates, but doesn't take away from the experience at Westlake.

Great setting for elementary age children. Genuine and caring staff, very inclusive and friendly atmosphere, smaller number of students (although increased significantly during pandemics), aftercare and beforecare available and very good. However, testing seem to show school needs some improvement to deliver better academic success and results.

It was probably the best school I went to. It is a tiny Christian school in a tiny town with a tiny class. Everyone there is like a family. My class are like my brothers and sisters because I have known them since first grade. They have amazing teachers that really care about their students and will do anything for them. The one teacher that I really look up to is my Bible teacher Kurt Flemming. He is a wonderful man who has taught me so much about myself and my faith. All the people at Westlake have a special place in my heart and always will.

Very cliquey school. They make a lot of important decisions without ever consulting parents who are paying tuition. If you are looking for a legalistic, average school, this is it.

Though it is small, it is surely mighty. It instills Biblical truths and values into students' lives through training and through example. The teachers are truly incredible, sacrificial people who believe in their students and believe in the vision of the school - every student a disciple of Jesus C...
