I would not recommend this school for people going into middle/high school. The classes are extremely limited, and it feels like there is a lot of favoritism in this school.

This school has a terrible amount of favoritism I myself witnessed it. I hear this school was good many years ago but while attending this school for two years I can say that this school is no longer what it was and do NOT recommend letting your child attend this school especially if in middle or high school.

April, 5, 2021 I gave this school one star, just so I could write about the event that happened that has effected my life for 40 years now. I would not recomend this school at all. For kindegarden through 3rd grade it seemed decent. But in 4th grade, on April 4th, 1981, the music teacher had my class in the school's church practicing for a musical Easter program. She had the entire class all on one stand, and I was the first on the left side of the bottom row. We were singing when I suddenly heard a noise behind me. I instinctivily turned my head to see what was happening, when all of a sudden, half of my 4th grade class fell on top of me, making me slam the Left Side of my Head down onto the floor of the church. That knocked me unconscious, instantly. When I came too, the music teacher was literally screaming into my right ear to see if I was alright. My senses slowly came back, but when I got my sense of Touch back, I instantly felt ENORMOUS PAIN in front of my left ear. Also, I could literally FEAL small SHOCKS going back and forth, INSIDE MY BRAIN. At first the teacher wouldn't let me go to the school's office for help. When she FINALLY DID, going to the office was NO HELP AT ALL. The secretary just had me sit in a chair, and gave me a bag of ice to hold against the bump on my Head. She picked up the phone, had the receiver against her left ear, and her right index finger ready to dial my home phone number to tell my Mom what had happened. When ALL OF A SUDDEN, she lifted up her finger, stared at the wall, and then looked over at me and said "You know, your Mom's probably out shopping, so I'll try later." She hung up the phone and went back to work. They had me finish the school day. My Mom, who is a retired nurse, came to pick me up. She instantly saw the bump on my Head and told me to get in the car. She went and told the people in the office that she wanted to keep me home the next day. That following morning I had my first EPILEPTIC SEIZURE. I was later diagnosed with Epilepsy and put on medication. Later in 6th grade the school saw me have a seizure. The only person in the entire school who didn't become terified of me after that was the Social Studies teacher, who's daughter had Epilepsy. After that year, my Mom switched me to another school were no one was afraid of me. I just wanted to put this down because I'm still having seizures, been on medications, had 2 types of Neurosurgery and still no success.

Both if my children graduated from WECS. They both got into the college of there choice. They were prepared for the world. Wonderful, godly teacher who are concerned for their students well being. In the last 3-4 years the school has improved greatly. They have a new coach who has big plans to increase the sports program. My grandchild now attends the school. There is no doubt in my mind that he will also be well prepared to do great things upon graduating.
