Hold your horses! In recent years WES has made a few improvements - but examine the CRCT scores in the pass-fail grades especially. The scores are like a roller coaster ride that goes up and down, up and down! Most of the original staff have left WES in the past two years alone. Whenever teachers

Also, common sense should dictate that the teachers with the most experience and best qualifications should be placed in the critical areas like Math and Reading. It seems like our leaders are just shuffling the staff around and trying a lot of different strategies in the hopes of stumbling onto something that actually works. Read less

W.E.S has come a long way and I think they are doing a fantastic job. I feel completely safe sending my son to school every morning.

I have two children who attend Waynesville Elem. and I have to agree, there is some teachers there that are totally dedicated to their job and do it very well but there is others there that seem to me that there only there for a paycheck.

But last year when I walked my older child to their class in the mornings I was never even greeted with a good morning by his teacher, even if I greeted her I was lucky to get a response.

I disagree with the parent who feels that Waynesville Elem has become unsafe.

Having said that,Waynesville is one of the better schools my children have gone to,and is getting better every day. Read less

WES is a good school, working hard to become great. There are always problems in schools due to the number of people involved, so WES is doing all it can to educate its students.

The primary problem with the school is the lack of parent participation in his/her own child's education. Recently, my child in 2nd grade was asked to find out AT HOME, how long it takes Jupiter to revolve around the sun. She told me the next day that only 2 of 20 students could supply the answer.

Any child who just cannot excel should take advantage of the Bush Administration's 'No Child Left Behind' program. The program may have valuable help for the child that needs more individual attention than they can get in a classroom setting. Please visit http://www.ed.gov/nclb/landing.jhtml Read less

I am a parent and teacher at WES. My child has had excellent teachers who care about her academics as well as her well-being.
