I have 2 students enrolled at Wegeforth and a child that has since moved on to Taft Middle School. All my children are doing extremely well. They have been fortunate to be in the GATE glass. My 7th grader was totally prepared and disciplined for middle school in part because of the teachers at Wegeforth.

My child has attended this school for 3 years, and I have to say, I have not been very impressed. He went through five kindergarten teachers within the first semester. It wasn't until this year that it actually appeared that he was learning anything new. Things just always seemed very disorganized,

My daugher is in 4th Grade and my son is in 2nd Grade at Wegeforth Elementary. We are fortunate to have a small enrollment, yet it leaves a lot on the shoulders of parent volunteers.

I have 2 kids currently at this school and I have to say I have been very unhappy. They have a constant change of principals and teachers.

They force children to sit at lunch and eat regardless of whether the child is hungry or doesn't like the food. I have a million reasons I have been unhappy. My daughter goes on to middle school next year and my son and I have decided he would be much happier and able flourish at another school. Wegeforth is a big dissapointment. Read less
