This is my experience. My daughter (had a different principal than Rasmussen) had an okay experience. Nothing special but did great. Next my son who went here for 2nd through 3rd. It was not the best. He has ADHD and anxiety. His 2nd grade teacher amazing! He’s 3rd grade terrible. It was a male teacher with his masters… yet couldn’t really find a way to connect with my son. Which is fine, we as humans don’t always connect. But looking back as my son is finishing 4th grade at a charter school now, it’s night and day different! He’s excelling, making friends and actually feels included. Finally my youngest son who attended kindergarten at kanesville. He is black and we adopted him at age 3. We learned QUICKLY this school is so uncomfortable and not for people of color. His teacher was great for typical education. Administration is crap. Rasmussen doesn’t care or will listen to others perspectives. We were SO uncomfortable with a Thanksgiving program they did. Songs about guns, Indians, pilgrims, etc. There are plenty of cute age appropriate songs about turkeys and things. We brought this up to the principal and it was like talking to a brick wall. You could tell he didn’t care and my husband and I felt hopeless after our meeting. We reached out to other black adoptees and families, 90% agreed it was wrong and would be upset too. We luckily got them into a charter and let me tell you how my two children have THRIVED this year! We feel heard, my children feel happy and involved and are excelling!

West Weber Elementary is located in western Weber Country and is part of the Fremont High School cone. In addition to providing comprehensive, core curriculum-based learning to students in kindergarten through 6th grade, we also provide differentiated instruction and special education services, including services to students with severe needs in our functional life skills classroom. Currently there are approximately 520 students enrolled at West Weber with 21 teachers and 31 members of support staff. The original West Weber Elementary was built in 1928. The beautiful, new school we are now in was constructed in 2015 on the same land where the original building stood. However, it is still nice to look out the back windows at cornfields and Clydesdale Horses in the pastures behind the school.West Weber has the largest geographic boundaries of all the elementary schools in Weber District. Nearly all of the students are bussed to and from the school. Many of the students that attend West Weber are 4th and even some are 5th generation students whose parents, grandparents and even great grandparents have attended the school.West Weber Elementary has an active school choir, a peer leader program, Robotics club, and a girls running club. We also have an active PTA and Community Council that provide valuable support and resources to ensure a positive learning experience for all students. this school is a really good school I was a previous student here and the teachers are good to the students

My kids enjoy coming to this school

Since kindergarten, my son has been a student at Quest. In kindergarten, he was diagnosed with Autism, Expressive and Receptive Language Disorder. Initially, I lacked a comprehensive understanding of the IEP process and felt confident that Quest prioritized my son’s well-being. However, this perception has been challenged as he progresses to fourth grade.It has become evident that Quest’s primary focus is on maintaining its enrollment numbers rather than ensuring the optimal educational experience for my son. During his third-grade year, the school conducted psychological assessments by a PhD doctor, revealing that he was academically at a kindergarten to first-grade level. The school attributed these results to my son’s persistent refusal to complete his assignments. However, it failed to recognize that my son genuinely struggled to comprehend the tasks due to his intellectual limitations.In fourth grade, an independent PhD psychologist conducted an assessment, which confirmed that my son’s academic level has progressed to a first to second-grade range and he has been diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability. Despite these findings, Quest continues to dispute my son’s academic level, refusing to acknowledge the data provided by two separate medical professionals. When I inquired about the possibility of holding my son back a year, I was informed that the school basically refuses holding students back and that I am essentially requesting my son’s perpetual stagnation and lack of growth by advocating for a lower grade level.Given these circumstances, I have decided that Quest is not the appropriate educational institution for my son, especially considering his IEP and the need for special accommodations. Consequently, we will be withdrawing from the school after this academic year concludes.
