Whiting Lane School is an elementary school located in West Hartford, Connecticut. The school educates grades kindergarten through fifth, with an annual enrollment of approximately 450 students.

As of 2006, the school principal is Dr. Nancy DePalma. In 2004, the school selected the owl as their mascot and by a vote of students the mascot was named "Flash".

In 1997, West Hartford wanted to expand the school to provide better service for pre-kindergarten and special education, so an addition comprising six pre-kindergarten rooms, six kindergarten rooms, and two special education rooms was built. The original building was built on a slope, with an upper and lower level and a small intermediate floor a half-floor between the two. The award-winning addition better joins the upper and lower levels with an L-shaped corridor. This corridor is brightly lit using natural light, and there is a courtyard to provide an enclosed outside area for the younger students to play. The addition was completed in September 1997.^[1]
