Westlawn Middle School is an excellent school.I went there and learned things I never knew before.Before I went to Westlawn, I knew nothing about rockets.I was on the rocket team and now I know lots about rockets that i never knew before and its all thanks to Westlawn.If you moved to Huntsville,you should send your child to Westlawn.It's the best school I ever attended.The teachers are kind and caring yet they discipline the children enough for them to know that the teachers are all about learning.Your child can learn about what I said and much more!

My daughter has been enrolled in this district but there is NO way she will enter this school. The city school board needs to close this school down and relocate these schools where there are more results for punishment as needed, this school does not even know the definition for punishment. They are there for their pay checks, not our children. Close Quote
