Education
Students in public school for grades Kindergarten through 12 attend the Westwood Regional School District, a comprehensive regional school district serving both Washington Township and Westwood that is the county's only regional K-12 district. Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are four K-5 elementary schools — Berkeley Avenue Elementary School (250 students), Jessie F. George Elementary School (292), Washington Elementary School (257) and Brookside Elementary School (had 418 in grades 5&6 prior to the realignment) — Westwood Regional Middle School for grades 7 and 8 (which had 314 students in grades K-4 as Ketler Elementary School) and Westwood Regional High School for grades 8-12 (which had 1,179 students in grades 7-12). As of the 2010-11 school year, Ketler Elementary School, which had served K-4, was shifted to become Westwood Regional Middle School for grades 6 and 7, while the other elementary schools would all serve K through 5, and the high school was shifted to grades 8-12 (from 7-12).
Westwood is also home to The Healing Hands Institute for Massage Therapy.
