West End has the most dedicated teachers and staff. It's like a big family at West End.

Speaking as an adult who was a student at this school from k5-5th it's a great school. My whole family went here and I'm watching my younger cousins succeed here as well from the youngest in k4 the teachers are just as great today as they were when I went here.

My child is going into 5th grade. We've had 2 bad teachers out of 5. Some are excellent. Some make it so you are ready for the year to be over. Very few fun things for kids to look forward to any more. No more boo in the school. Very few parties. No siblings allowed so it's very difficult for parents with younger children to be involved. Art, music, and STEM are excellent programs at West End.

The art and music program at WE are excellent! The teachers are caring. It is a wonderful school for kids.

Good school if you are from the area. Otherwise, you are an unwelcome outsider. Their claim to an open-door policy is lip-service. Parental involvement is implicitly discouraged via their thinly-veiled animosity towards them. The small handful of truly kind and welcoming teachers serve as stark contrast to the norm. If you are an outsider, you (and unfortunately your children) will pay for encroaching on their territory.
