Westpark Elementary School

Westpark Elementary is the best elementary school, enrolling 571 students from PK-8th grade, and the student-teacher ratio is close to 19:1, with 30 full-time teachers and 1 full-time school counselor. About 44% of students are good at math, and 37% are good at reading, which is a little better than the district average. There are 49% girls and 51% boys in the school. Westpark does a better job of keeping its performance balanced across core areas than Verrado and Jasinski Elementary. Students still go to Youngker High School, which has had many successful graduates in the arts, sports, and technology. Westpark puts a lot of stress on student leadership, reading, and learning online. Families who want to move to the area can expect to pay between $1,900 and $2,600 a month for a 3-bedroom rental.

On October 9, 2025, the school was honored for having Education Foundation for BESD Mini Grant Winners.
