Pocalla Springs

We have sent our three children here for the past 5 years and we are more than satisfied with the experience and our children's instruction here at Westside.

Outstanding school for the area! Principal and teachers are excellent and discipline is great! My son is a non-native english speaker, and the Teachers and principal were VERY good with his english. He is scoring higher in math and can read at a (Scholastic Book)Level 3 by the end of his kindergarten year. Very military friendly with a great Veterans day tribute that all classes participate in! The bus commute can be tough for younger kids (30 min) but it has not been a huge problem. I was initially dubious due to past performance on the standardized testing, but for AY 11-12, Wilder was highest in the district. Dont believe the "other school hype" That was 5-10 years ago. Wilder is Soaring!

It’s crazy to me that they have water fountains but keep them off. Students are limited to the water bottle they bring but if they drink what they have they then have to go without. My daughter spilled her water bottle in the car in the way to school and you’d think I was actually asking for their kidney with the nasty attitude the front desk gave when I called and told them to make sure she gets her bottle filled up. The way they treated the situation makes me feel they’d rather my 6 year old go without water all day than page the teacher and ask for water. If you can’t give the students water when needed than turn on the damn fountains and stop preventing these children the basic need of drinking water

I been with this school for about 15 or more years. My adult children went here and now my 8 year old, 2nd grader is here. I love the school. The principal and the staff. Excellent.
