West Towson Elementary School

Mix to good, but the ones which are not so good experience - primarily because of silly reason, and most important of all, if teachers or leadership is wrong and you point it is wrong and needs correction. They are not very receptive and at later stages pretty ignorant.

Overly critical teachers, doesn't support child with mild attention. Keeps complaining for every small thing and offers no positive reinforcement. A school for very perfect kids well no one is perfect.

We absolutely love West Towson. We have two kids there and have been happy with every single teacher they've had. Very active PTA, recently became a Green School, wonderful principal. So, so happy with this school.

As a former teacher, I can honestly say I have never seen a better school than West Towson Elementary school. Mrs. Hershfeld, the Principal, knows every student by name (there are over 500) and has high expectations, which her Wise Westies strive to meet daily. This school has outstanding technology in a LEED certified building, but more importantly, it has caring teachers and staff members who truly LOVE kids and teaching. I have three children who attend West Towson. We have worked with Special Ed. IEPs for two of our students and have one child who was identified for GT placement. During all of our meetings with teachers and staff members, our questions and concerns were addressed professionally and with the focus on what was best for our children. Parents are very welcome and involved in this school. Many are in the classrooms helping out on a daily basis. There is a fantastic after school Clubs program that offers everything from Chinese to Lego Club, Karate and a Girl Power 5K Club, to a Healthy Snack and Breakfast Club. The Patriots and Defenders Program is also a plus. We are so proud and happy to be a part of this very special place. We love our Westies!
