We nearly didn't attend this school, as it was rated only a "five" on this site back in 2015, compared with an eight rating of the school up the hill that we were lottery-accepted in to. However, it was my impression that the race and socio-economic diversity was high at GWE, and that was one reason I personally was happy for my daughter to attend this school.For five years here, my daughter has been able to draw from positive attention from teachers and other faculty, while forging a good social-framework to adapt to the trials of middle school in the upcoming year.If you are a parent who is researching a school down to these sorts of details, I can almost assure you that your child's standardized test scores are going to be at the higher numbers. While attending GWE, my daughter hit the highest levels of results, and I'm far from being a helicopter or tiger dad. I simply want my daughter to grow, learn, to become passionate about learning, and to wise to the uncertainties in life. Attending this school did an amazing job at helping her to move along this path.

The one thing that makes this school awesome is the staff! The teachers are super. The principal is very aware of her school and dedicated to making it better each year. My son is in third grade and has struggled in certain areas. The staff has come together to help him be successful. The teachers are very supportive. The only thing the school could use more of is parent involvement.

My daughter has been in Washington Elementray since Kindergarten and is now a 3rd grader. This has to be one of the best schools in Burbank. The teachers are fabulous. Mrs Zenian , the Principal is wonderful and very forward minded. Not to mention they have one the largest Environmental gardens in Burbank. An outdoor classroom for my child! I wish more parents would get involved with the garden committee and the PTA though. The parents of this school are quite uninvolved.
