West Elementary is a family-centered, positive, supportive learning community. West has been an integral part of the Westside Community and Old Colorado City for over 90 years. Our rigorous academic programs are designed to support each student’s individual needs. We believe in the power of high expectations and take a "no excuses" approach to student achievement. Our school community is relentlessly ensuring that all children have access to effective instructional strategies and challenging academic content.

West's "small school atmosphere" is said to be "the best-kept secret on the Westside."
