My daughter attended Wanke for Pre-K last year. Her teachers were amazing and set incredibly high standards for her next set of teachers. I would especially like to emphasize the wonderful staff at the front desk. I loved how they made us feel like family and always greeted us with warmth and kindness. It truly makes a difference when you are welcomed in such a way.

Love this school! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good communication with parents and best of all, teachers who actually care about their students. My daughter has always struggled with her reading but her teacher has really gone above and beyond to help her improve this year.

Excellent, my son has very strong leadership skills that are fostered daily. The few times I have had questions or there was an incident it was handled immediately and I was contacted right away. Very up front with zero tolerance policies.

After school pick up is horrible. Not organized. Teachers just stand around. Should be approching parents faster ask for childs name to keep steady moving line!

The teachers try their very best to teach the students the material that they need. However, the curriculum that they have to draw from seems to frustrate the students, burden the parents and the fallout is then directed at the teachers.

I would like to think that all the staff try very hard to help mold the character of each student. However, the elementary counselor's are not often available for that one on one connection that a student may need. The molding of children begin in Pre K and the opportunity to help each child be guided is often an oversight, because the counselor's are to busy with testing, they only have time for classroom activities.

Since Ms. Lizcano has taken over as principal, the integrity of working hard to provide a safe environment for the students has improved.
