Staff was extremely rude. Bathrooms had spiderwebs and rats nests in them. Walls were to thin so I could hear the other classes conversation. Teachers did nothing but hand out packets and sit on there phone. The playground had rust all over it. Several safety hazards.

Never again we will be moving away. This school needs to be shut down.

Sending my child to this school was by far the worst decision I have made as a parent. Normal-learning or gifted children may be OK at this school, but if your child has special needs I beg you to find an alternative option. I personally know two other families (not requiring Special Education) that pulled their children and decided to home school or send to private school (for reasons unrelated to COVID-19). There are some really great teachers at WES, but the administration is, simply put, uncaring. The learning environment is not beneficial for my child.

My child attended two elementary schools previous to WES so I feel I am able to compare objectively. Integrity, compassion, and respect are not top values here. Hard work/grinding is the primary mindset.

If you're interested in improving standardized test scores this is the school for you. The leadership puts a lot of emphasis on this, but at what cost to the kids' well-being with limited recess and breaks? My child NEVER came home and said she had fun at school, which she did at previous schools.

My child with a learning disability and IEP was retained, because she was not on level with children in her grade. Of course she wouldn't be, hence the need for special education.

Ive had to teach my daughter everything. When we relied on the school she was falling behind. So far Ive had to sit down for an hour or more each night to teach math, shapes, sight words, sentence structure etc while they sit in class and color and maybe read. Shes in kindergarten.

Daughters teacher snaps and yells at her and once weve had a conference she now singles her out.

Yelling at kids and snapping fingers at them is not how you teach kids.

Principal does nothing and has zero leadership skills. Weve talked to her multiple times and she still does nothing about my kid being singled out or the teacher not teaching and yelling at kids.

Its all printed out sheets and teachers dont sit and have any one on one with students.

Definitely not. My child has had her lunch, lunch box, jacket and school supplies stolen and they actually got on to her. Her teacher even bullies her. She comes home crying in kindergarten about how her teacher is mean and she doesnt want to go to school. The previous teacher she still says she misses and loved school then. This school will kill your childs love of learning.

Absolutely horrible. I will never send my kid back here and would rather homeschool that send her to this school. My family has been in academics for 3 generations and has written curriculum for school districts and this is the worst school Ive ever experienced. Dont send your kid here. Try anything to go anywhere else.

Woolmarket Elementary The only positive were comments dated 2007....this school is one of the worst. Do not put your child here. They will be treated like red headed step children....

Ive heard nothing but complaints on a daily basis in the halls from other parents. This is the worst school ive ever seen. I have 3 children and have moved around several times in several states (military reasons) so i have experience with many schools. My middle child was bullied by others and ignored my the teachers about it, my youngest is now in kindergarden there and his although he is no angel he has started to act out at school as well as home. He doesn't get the attention that a kindergardener needs because i quote 'our class of 27 students & 2 teachers is too large'. They push the kids too hard about learning and just don't seem to care. I can't talk to anyone at anytime (i dont know where the other parents are able to do that) i have to make appointments to discuss ANYTHING. I have a long list of dislikes for this school and am now thinking of taking my child out to put into homeschooling.
