Lancaster, SC 29720

This school is unsafe and has a bullying problem that is not being addressed. They are almost pro bully. My child was just assaulted by a student who pulled her hair after my daughter attempted to intervene in a disagreement that student had with a friend. My daughter attempted to de escalate by telling the student to speak to her friend respectfully. In response the student attacked my child. The administrations response was to tell my child first to never verbally advocate for someone being bullied & second to not defend yourself if you are being attacked. They do not care about your child in this situation and will attempt to gaslight you.

Everyone in this school supports the children that attend this school.A very caring Administration. Well organized. Mr. Thorpe, principal is always attending after school activities.

VWES is one of the best schools in LCSD! The admin team,Dr. Ramey, Mrs. Jackson, and Mrs. Urbano go above and beyond everyday for the students, staff, and parents. All three administrators pull a small group of students two-three times a week to teach them and provide needed support in math or reading instruction. Mrs. Jackson has the most inviting office where the students can come to take a sensory break anytime one is needed. Mrs. Jackson dances with the kids in the mornings and makes sure to greet every student that walks through the front door. All three admin strive to give support to not just the staff but also the families. The academic coaches work vigorously with the teachers to provide academic support. The Teachers and Support Staff at VWES are top notch! The PTO is AMAZING as well! If you ever have an opportunity, come and check out Coffee With The Counselors sessions. They are so informative and helpful to parents/guardians. Overall, VWES soars daily to make a difference not just at school, but also within the community.
