West Elementary School
djorlo: This school is located in a low-income area. It does a great job of serving the students. The children who come to us are mostly single-parent, incarcerated parents, and certainly low-socio economic. It is a beautiful building with enviable technology. The teachers here are dedicated to making progress with each student. It rates at least a 6.
