The Westtown experience is unique, it allowed me to meet great and kind people as well as prepare me for the college setting with amazing faculty. By already partaking in the dorm experience in Westtown it allowed me to be more prepared compared to some of my peers in the university. Overall it was great.

Very solid school. The people here only want the best for their students. Solid academics. Great food options. If you board here you feel a real sense of community. However, if you're looking for an unbiased school this isn't it. The schools leans heavily liberal and the students with moderate or even conservative viewpoints are silenced. If that doesn't concern you I'd apply here ASAP.

We've been pretty disappointed with our lower school Westtown experience. Sure COVID threw everything for a loop but the school has struggled to get back on track with engaging the entire community. The curriculum is lacking compared to peer intuitions in the region. As parents we are largely shut o...

Poor administration choices, even poorer communication with students and parents. While the school may claim to be supportive and engaging, certain members of administration relish their power and hold it over other teachers and students. Not worth the money.
