I went to this school during my Kindergarten- 1st Grade year. This was about 11-12 year ago, I just graduated Highschool. My teacher was Mrs. Kirkpatrick, not so sure she is still a teacher there. They taught me how to read, I missed field day because I was so proud of my accomplishment. This school gets a thumbs up.

My 4 daughters all went to WBES, currently I still have 2 daughters there. The principal's ideas not only cater to the children learning; but it is geared to getting the entire community involved. Events aren't just planned for the students only but for the surrounding community. This is how you make a difference in the life of a child. "AWESOME" job to the entire administration at WBES.
