West Brook Middle School is one of two middle schools in Paramus, New Jersey. It is located west of route 17 off of Ridgewood Avenue on Roosevelt Boulevard off of Midland Avenue on Green Valley Way.

We at West Brook are committed to providing a quality, middle school education to all of our students. This is accomplished through the intertwining of the key components of the National Middle School Association’s position paper, “This We Believe”, with the district’s mission. Students are taught in interdisciplinary teams by a highly qualified staff. Instructional strategies and student assessments are varied to meet the diverse needs of the students. All this is accomplished in a nurturing environment where students are developed to be open-minded, life-long learners and responsible community members.

This summer, West Brook, has gone through a major renovation project. We have expanded our facility by adding two new computer labs and two additional classrooms. The building itself has been through a major upgrade especially evident in our art room and science lab as well as our auditorium which will have new lighting and seating.

We look forward to another productive school year. Students will continue to be challenged by a rigorous curriculum as well as have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of Creative Arts and co-curricular programs. The West Brook educational program is grounded in the continuing partnership of school and home. Together, we can make all children successful.
