Love Westridge! I really enjoy going to this school, even though it can be very academic and challenging.

My 4th grade daughter just finished her first year at Westridge. We are very happy with the school. I am particularly impressed with their focus on social-emotional learning. 4th grade can be a hard time to figure out friendships but the Lower School puts significant resources into supporting the girls as they navigate their relationships and learn how to be better friends and community members.

The best part of my experience at westridge is the people. The teachers and the students are so driven and it's so refreshing to see. Everyone at westridge wants to learn and being in an environment like that helps me want to learn as well. The worst part of my experience has probably been sports. The lack of commitment when it comes to students and coaches is truly aggravating for the people who are truly good at sports and want to succeed in that area.

The overwhelming workload and competitive environment caused me and a large majority of my classmates (from conversations I've overheard) to develop depression. At one point, it got so bad I was put into a partial hospitalization program. Literally all of my c...

Worst experience ever. My girl deteriorated on all levels. They didn’t even care to let us know. It seems that only white girls are entities for good mentorship and care in that school.
