I believe West School is a school with a dedicated staff who works hard and cares about their students. There have been many changes and when you enter the campus you can see alot of changes with students, staff and parents. We still have areas to work on but so do all schools. Regardless of what parents
... Read more think all schools are concerned about the AIMS it may seem they are only teaching to the test but they have to get them ready and tmake sure are ready so they can do well on it. They have to make sure all the standards are covered as time permits and they only have 8 months to teach 9 months worth of standards. Teachers here put in long hours to work with students. Teachers do send weekly reports home, unfortantaly these reports don't always make it home with the student. Read less

I feel that this school is very antiquated in their procedure and not stepping into the future.

Our son went to kindergarden this year at West School and we were very disappointed with the school's quality. They were very noncommunicative with us. The teacher did not respond to our requests for a call, she felt that communicating in writing was the way to go. Picking up a phone was almost out of

We always found out about special concerts, art shows etc. on the day of the event, therefore missing out on a music performance, art show and science show that our son was involved in. I would not recommend this school to anyone. If at all costs, do not move into the Coolidge School District. You will be very dissapointed. Read less
