Westchase Elementary follows a concise mission statement, 'Preparing Students for Life!' A part of Hillsborough County Public Schools, the school is home to kindergarten through 5th grade children. It earned an almost perfect score– 9 out of 10 –for academic student progress from GreatSchools.org, and school officials confirm it earned an 'A' in state education rankings. The school also boasts an impressive student-teacher ratio, with no more than 22 students per teacher, depending on the grade. Leaders at Westchase Elementary understand that student learning takes place in many ways, and the myriad of educational experiences it offers includes a dual language program and an innovative STEM lab. Educational opportunities outside the classroom are also available, like the Bricks for Kids, a robotics program, a morning news show, Junior Associate Counselors, National Elementary Honor Society and a musical theater group, "Show on the Road." Youngsters who prefer sports can enjoy the Best Camp Ever offered for all grade levels after hours during the school year. Westchase Elementary School administrators and teachers enjoy community support and, in turn, work to help youngsters excel academically, emotionally and socially.

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.
