My children have thrived at this school. If you are looking for the right place for a child with special needs, West Side special ed staff will go above and beyond to accommodate your child. Between my 3 children, we’ve had a great experience with about 80% of the teachers. My only issue with a few is that they don’t make it easy to reach them if there’s a concern. Most of them use the Remind app and will respond almost immediately, which is comforting as a parent. Whenever we’ve had concerns, whether it’s about academics, behaviors, grades, peers, etc., we’ve always been able to have a meeting in-person with teachers/staff and come up with a plan to address the problem. As a whole, the support and responsiveness we’ve received at this school has been incredibly meaningful in my children’s academic, social, and behavioral development. The principal is fantastic and truly cares about every child there. The vice principal is very involved with the kids and every staff member seems to know every single child’s name. We’ve been very happy here.
