6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy older child previously attended this school and my younger child currently attends. The Principal, Dean, Administration and teachers all have a positive vibe and care about the school and students. My older child had a few minor incidents with bullying type behavior and each time I contacted the school about it they acted immediately and addressed the resolved the issues. My older child has ADD and most of the teachers accommodated needs. A few not so much but in general we never had a problem significant enough to get administration involved. Due to the school having 23% Caucasian students we don't feel the school is very diverse but we do feel mostly accepted and comfortable. This school is connected to Aurora's Public Library which is convenient. I highly recommend this school.Parent Review4y ago - Freeman Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is situated in a very diverse neighborhood with many families below the poverty rate whose first language in the household may not be English. I think the statistics shown in these ratings are highly inaccurate in relation to the lived-experience, and may lead some families to believe WA isn't a good school, which hasn't been my family's experience at all. This school focuses on the path the student wants to take, not the path of college for all, which is highly needed in a world where skilled labor is still necessarily and needed. There are a ton of vocational programs and opportunities for students who want to apprentice while in school. Though my son is a college-bound student, not all of his friends are, and they are all supported with the resources needed for their aspirations. My college-bound student has plenty of honors and AP opportunities with teachers who communicate well with both my son and me, the parent. For those who are college-bound, WA has an entire department of counselors to help guide them to make the best decisions to get into the college they want to attend. Additionally, there are tutors and teachers available during student periods and after school in the library when help is needed. Extra-curricular activities are plentiful for all interests. My son participates in mathletes and the video game team. Additionally, the unique opportunities are amazing, with short summer study abroad programs; they most recently travelled to Costa Rica (Spanish and Conservation-focused) and Italy. Do not let faulty (classist and racist) statistics control your decisions. You and your student have the power to make West Aurora what you want it to be when you're active and involved.Parent Review4mo ago
