West Elementary School
Some great teachers trying their best. That's how I can describe most of our school. Our district is horrible, I'm not impressed with the administration and the lack of funds are appalling. The worst part is that such a huge majority of the parent really don't care about their kids education so the teachers are worked extra hard trying to get these students who even at low grade levels, have no motivation to behave let alone learn, to do well. It leaves those who do well without much assistance unless they are lucky enough to have an amazing enough teacher who will take the extra time and go a step beyond. Thankfully we have found that several years.
