This school is one of the best schools I have personally experienced in the springs. West elementary provides plenty of resources for their students. The staff is wonderful to work with & to know! This school truly cares about providing the best education for their students! They also help with outside resources if you are in need.

West Elementary School is am amazing place for students to be successful. My daughter has been loved and taken care of each and every minute she has been at West. All teachers care about all students. I've seen it day after day. The teachers and staff work hard and often after hours when nobody at home would even notice. Teachers and staff put on events and shows that are amazing! My daughter looks forward to school each day because of the love and support she receives at school. When I bring up concerns or worries, teachers and staff take my concerns seriously and take care of the problems immediately. The office staff (Ms. Tina and Ms. Carmen) are wonderful! They help with everything I need and with a kind smile on their face. The principal (Ms. Newton) and Vice Principal (Mrs. Graham) are kind and work hard for all students. I have zero complaints about West Elementary because I know that our students are well taken care of and loved. West is the BEST!

They prefer students to be dumbed down for monetary gain.

We have witnessed fights after fights on the elementary and middle school playgrounds while children were unsupervised at recess.

It was a disaster, my worst complaint is not moving my children sooner and letting them get so far behind.
Posted: December 5, 2018
Weve had to move our children due to both are children having low scores and not being able to read with the guidance of a third grade teacher. They are a very money driven school and bribe their students with candies and toys, with no actual results.

This school teaches you the only thing you need to know is how to be a bully.
Posted: December 5, 2018
Management allows fights on the playground, swear and cuss words are rabid.

Do not believe in the negative things because this s a really good school and if you are in 4 grade well you got luck because Ms. Yenne is the best teacher ever but not Mrs. Evans she is very mean and rude! While Ms. Yenne is caring and will comfort your student in any way.
