Westtown-Thornbury Elementary School

Overall, W-T is a great school. There are some fabulous teachers, and I believe the principal is a caring one. That being said, the building is in desperate need of renovation and there are a handful of teachers that are either not in the right grade, or not very interested in the kids.
