Quick take
School review information
Westridge Elementary is a well-rounded and dependable school in North Burnaby that offers both English and Early French Immersion tracks. Its consistent academic standing, combined with the significant convenience of modern on-site childcare and active community engagement, makes it a highly practical and attractive choice for families.
Editorial review summary
Publicly available parent reviews specifically for the Burnaby location are limited, so signals are limited. However, based on community resources and district news, it can be reasonably inferred that parents highly value the on-site Puddle Splashers childcare facility, which opened in 2021 and provides seamless before- and after-school care. The school is situated in a family-friendly North Burnaby neighborhood, and families appear to appreciate the school's inclusive environment and active student engagement in community projects, such as a notable student-led Indigenous Reconciliation Crosswalk.
Common positives
- Offers a highly sought-after Early French Immersion program.
- Exceptional on-site childcare (Puddle Splashers) accommodating infants through school-aged children.
- Strong emphasis on Indigenous education and student-led civic engagement.
- Consistent academic performance, ranking in the top third of BC elementary schools.
Common concerns
- Limited public parent reviews available online to provide insight into daily school culture.
- High demand for both the French Immersion program and on-site childcare may result in waitlists.
- The school faces enrollment capacity pressures due to district-wide growth, as noted in long-range facility plans.
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for families seeking a French Immersion education or those who require reliable on-site before- and after-school care. Due to high demand, parents should apply early for both the immersion program and childcare spots.

The rating dataset used here covers 2024-2025. The five-year average belongs to that historical report, not the five years ending today.
Academic ratings do not capture the whole school experience, including belonging, support, or fit for your child. A nearby care provider does not necessarily offer school pickup; confirm with the provider.
