My children have to sit together on the bus to avoid the cursing and bullying from the more belligerent students. The bus driver couldn't care less. The school administration hasn't done anything to curb the behavior of the students acting out, either.I've also heard repeatedly how the school's music teacher, Mr. Yost, is flat-out mean to some of the students when they fall short of his expectations.

My granddaughter just started there last week. She's a great student who gets above average grades. Today is her 5th day and I am really upset with the school principal, who did something that she should have known better to do. I am not favorably impressed at all. I hope the parents take action. The school rating is as good as the principal, in my opinion

The staff is great and takes great pride in working with our kids! Our oldest is excelling there. He's had a great experience since he started in kindergarten. He is now moving to 3rd grade and is excited to be getting back to it, I never could say that about school when I was there! From principal Combs to the facilities staff everyone carries a great attitude and loves the kids. The buildings in the district are very outdated with the exception of Monfort Heights, but they hope to have something on the ballet for the future to build new schools. They have a very very good plan that would save money building new schools and rebuilding a few that are structurally sound and I hope we can get it passed! The district does great with what little funding the state actually provides so I can only imagine that they can do even better with new facilities that would take our kids into a bright future with an advantage in technology! Plus NWLS has open enrollment if you want to send you kid to a different school than the one your nearest.

Our daughter started Kindergarten at Weigel 2009-2010 year. The teachers and all the staff are great with the kids. We really like the structure they have.
