I’d give them a zero if it wasn’t for the wonderful clerical staff that are extremely helpful to parents & the teachers at this school which seem to really care about their students.

Frank West excels in differentiating instruction of diverse learners. They have a caring staff, supportive administration, and tight structures that keep the students of this community safe and nurtured. They are closing the achievement gap through targeted instruction and parent engagement. I would highly recommend this school to community members.

My son attended Frank West in kindergarten. He had an excellent teacher. Despite the challenges that these teachers face they are able to encourage and educate insuring that all children exceed and get a great start to their education. I would highly recommend enrolling your children in this school. I moved to another state and am appalled at the lack of encouragement and standards of the particular school my son is now at. I wish that the teachers here had the determination to make sure that all their students succeeded. Thanks especially to Mr. Fitzpatrick for being a wonderful teacher.

Frank West is a fabulous school. Those teachers don't start always start with the highest kids, but they get amazing results with them. It is a very focused on results school with strong positive leadership. Have no qualms about sending your child to such a great school!
