Great teachers and great programs! This school is looked upon as a model school to others as there are always lots of visits from the community, other principals and district administration.

The office staff is horrible. Snobby mean and have no concern for the parent. Ruth Livingston elementary has an amazing office staff. Mark twain can really use help from them.

We’ve only been with the school district for a year but have been pleasantly surprised. They have always encouraged and remained optimistic with learning goals. I feel like they have given full attention for my kiddo and have helped her progress in areas that were lacking just a few months ago.

What others should know is that low to moderate income does not equal problem kids. The children that attend Westgate Elementary School come to school with a smile on their faces every day. They are very loving, trusting and kind to each other. What I love about Westgate is that about 20 different languages are spoken here and there is a real spirit of acceptance amongst the kids. Another thing I like about our school is that we have a young energetic staff who know our kids can achieve and will achieve. I never hear excuses made about anything from anyone. We have 12 men here at Westgate which is unheard of in an elementary school. I believe this is a positive for our school. Of course our test scores can improve and believe me they will. We love these kids too much to fail them.

We love St. Joe's! From the academic excellence to the amazing staff and community, we are so glad we chose St. Joe's for our preschool and elementary aged children.
