Welcome!

Westwood Schools admits academically qualified students of any race, color, gender, or national and ethnic origin.

Admission Requirements

Students must meet the following requirements to be enrolled at Westwood Schools:

l

All new applicants must take a placement test as part of the admissions process.

The applicant and parents must be willing to adhere to all school policies as stated within the Westwood Policy Handbook.
K3, K4 and K5 students should be three, four or five years old respectively before September 1st to be admitted to Westwood.
Immunization Policy-Act No. 540 states that all students have a Georgia Department of Human Resource Certificate of Immunization (form 3231) on file at the school. Your physician or Health Department will have this certificate.

 

Due to the academic rigors required to graduate from Westwood, local transfer students may not be accepted into the Senior Class. Non-local transfer students will be considered on an individual basis.

Application Process

Visit Campus

Every potential student and parent/guardian is encouraged to visit the campus.

Placement Testing

Every potential student completes a placement test.

Complete Application

Along with a completed application, the student will provide all other documentation such as official transcripts, achievement test scores, immunization records, attendance records and discipline records.

Student/Family Interview

Upon completion of the entrance exam, a student interview will be conducted, if needed.  Once all records are received, the admissions committee will review all of the information and a decision will be made whether or not to accept the applicant as a student at Westwood.

If the student has a history of discipline problems or is academically weak, he or she may be denied admission due to the severity of the behavior or weakness.  He or she may be accepted only if certain stipulations are accepted by the parents and student.  These stipulations may include mandatory lab work, out-of-school tutoring, summer school or summer lab participation, counseling or other requirements set forth by the Admissions Committee.

Once a student’s application is accepted, he or she will be admitted for a probationary period.  If at the end of the probationary period, the student has not met the required stipulations, made academic progress, or met behavioral standards, the student’s acceptance to Westwood may be terminated.

Westwood admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities made to students at the school.  It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, or athletic and other school administered programs. 

Westwood reserves the right to prohibit admission to any person who has given birth to a child or fathered a child.
