West Park Place Elementary School
It's one of the worst schools I have ever seen in my life, and the principal is doing a very bad job their . No control over the teachers , they can do a lousy job and mess up with the poor children with nobody who can supervise them . No good equipments,nothing good about this school and i mean it nothing. I would never ever recommend it for anybody !

West Park Place Elementary School
As a former student at West Park from kindergarten through fourth grade (I graduated before fifth grade was added), I feel that this shcool fully prepared me for my middle school and high school career. It helped me to become fully interested and invested in my schoolwork and to try my hardest in everything I do. The teachers at West Park seemed to truly care about my education and helping me to be the best that I could be. They went above and beyond the state standards to prepare us for what lay ahead. When I attended the "Excel Program" was also offered to further improve students' knowledge. It helped to boost me into advanced courses in middle school and later high school.
