Great elementary school! I went there a few years ago and I want to tell yall how good it was. The school has great support for special education kids. It has a huge, big library for kids to enjoy. And nicely cleaned bathrooms. Teachers actually care about students and their learning. My only complaint is how small it is and it has to fit 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, AND 5th.

The score for this school unfairly depicts the hard work and outcomes that Hillsboro is actually known for. The I.B. program is incredible and students who elect to participate in the Diploma Programme, most go on to university more prepared than their peers from other top public and private schools. The social justice program and initiatives are changing how the city looks and feels about race, diversity, and opportunities. The building has undergone a $100 million dollar renovation and now has state of the art technology integration and a library and media center any school would envy. The athletics and arts programs are consistently competitive at the state level. In short, the people who judge this school by it's overall ranking are missing out on an incredible educational and community experience.

I was a student at west end for 2 years and I left the school this year because it was a bad experience for me. The kids would fight and get into arguments with teachers which took time away from the other students in the classroom. Another thing is, I have adhd and they did not do a lot of the things on my recommendation list that they were supposed to. The teacher got mad at me for zoning out or fidgeting, which I couldn’t help. The school also caused me really bad social anxiety by all the kids Who would harasses or talk about me and the staff would not do anything about it which made it harder for me. I now go to a great private school and I’m happier and feel safer that I have at school in a while. (I have to put current student but I’m not. )
