Absolutely love WES the teachers and staff are amazing and make you feel like family. They always take security very serious and the school has a sense of community. 10/10 highly recommended!

We have been at WES for 4 years now and I could not be happier! My children are growing and thriving there. Dr. Vaughn is extremely involved and present, the teachers truly love the children and are passionate about what they do. I love the family type feel of the school as a whole. The recent addition of the gifted program and fine arts academy takes all that this school can and does offer to an even greater level!

Great school, friendlier staff & teachers. The PTO board members and volunteers work very hard to help students and teachers with their needs. Safe environment, very concerned about kids security. Needs more parent involvement and knowledgeable front office staff.

I must say that my son who is now 9 years old, started his first years of school there have been hard work but his teachers from begining to now have been beyond fantastic.

I am very disappointed with the teachers at this school! My child was treated like an outcast and it was painful to send her to school everyday! I now believe what I read before my child attended, "If your not a part of the PTA your child will be treated different." Sorry I am a single mother who can not attend the meetings, but the teachers have no excuse to treat a child badly or different! I am so happy my child is moving on to the next grade and very thankful a new teacher!

Basic school, academics seem to be kind of bland. Need to make academics more of a priority. Enrichment activities should be added. All other elementary schools in this area seem to be doing really well, but this school's academics are probably in last or near last place for the area

This school does provide busses if you live outside the 2 mile limit. My neighborhood children are bussed.
