people can just walk in and out the school not safe for kids . Principal and teachers and staff all have attitudes and do not care about kids getting bullied . Kid’s education can be way better they lack on that also they do not communicate with parents correctly and if they do it’s late notice .

West Athens ES is making great improvements to its safe and welcoming environment. Under its new leadership, students are showing academic progress and social emotional awareness. With the support of families and teachers, students demonstrate pride through several culturally responsive activities.

I was so happy with this school but this year has been the worst, i dont see the effort the principal needs to put when it comes to hiring new teacher and the ones there, some are just lacking of professionalism, some teachers are unprofessional and they forget we as parents we trust our children to them to get education, and they are not.

Extremely poor. There are really good teachers who try their best but the administration is sorely lacking.

This school has made continuous growth in their API for the last few years. Every new hire has a strong background and those veteran teachers that stayed on are the ones that really care. There's a stronger parent involvement than ever before. I'm proud to have this school in the community.

West Athens Elementary School is going through change. In the past two years, there is a new principal and many new teachers. The staff is committed to improving the school with the School Plan it wrote two years ago. I am excited to see change occurring not only internally but externally. The campus is cleaner, the kindergarten area is getting a face lift thanks to the teachers, parents, and volunteers who have painted and will paint in the future. Together with parents and students we can make this school a success for everyone.
