Westwood is an elementary school for children in Friendswood who are in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades. We also offer a preschool program for children with disabilities (PPCD). There are approximately 800 students, 39 classroom teachers and numerous support staff at the school. In addition, there are many parent volunteers who help the staff provide outstanding learning experiences for students.

Westwood has received much recognition for excellence, both as a school and for the professionals on its staff. Westwood is an Exemplary Performance School for the state of Texas. TAKS results and other assessment data are analyzed by the staff to determine if changes need to be made in the instructional program, and instructional activities are designed which are appropriate to meet the needs of all students. In 1996, Westwood was recognized as a Texas Blue Ribbon School. The school has also been a model school for reading and mathematics instruction and been recognized for programs for gifted and special education students. Additionally, the school features instruction in art, music and physical education.
