I would not shy away from West Elementary. They have a dedicated staff and work hard to promote inclusion for all students, their families, and the community at large. The district is rural and unfortunately has to deal with the financial challenges that come with the location. There is high mobility and absenteeism within the school which makes providing services consistently a difficult in many ways. However, if the student attends regularly they can expect individualized learning opportunities, and great support for special needs students (including gifted). My biggest concern is the pervasive attitude, among students, that physical violence solves issues. This is something the school (and district at large) has been working hard to change with consistent consequences and by providing education on alternative responses.
