Niche Grade
Head north of downtown Portland, Michigan, to find Westwood Elementary School, a shining star in the Portland Public School District. Third through fifth grade students learn to be prepared, respectful, in control, determined and engaged — the school uses the acronym PRIDE to stand for these values and principles. The school campus is near the Grand River, Bogue Flats Recreation Area and Portland Riverwalk, which all promote outdoor activity in the community. Westwood Elementary School students explore academic and exploratory class options to prepare for future success. These courses include reading, language, science, writing, social studies and math. Exploratory class opportunities include technology, music, art and physical education. Parents and community members can support the educational staff through the parent teacher association. This organization routinely organizes family activities, supports March reading month and encourages teachers throughout the school year and during breaks.

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.
