When I think of Western Peaks, the word that comes to mind is excellence. As our oldest approached school age we heavily debated between private school and Western Peaks. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. My husband and I were ecstatic to learn that the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence are a part of each day’s routine—this is very important to our family and sadly isn’t nearly as common in today's world as it was in our youth. We are very impressed with the quality of education, the level of communication between teachers, staff and parents, the core values instilled, and much more. Any time I’ve had a concern, it has been taken seriously and addressed immediately. As a parent I feel respected and heard. The front office ladies are always kind and cheerful on the phone and in person. Principal Brown is actively involved in the schools operations ranging from school functions, testing, email newsletters, school dismissal and so, so much more. Last year, our son had Mrs. Christy and Mrs. Camacho who were amazing. I knew that at any moment I could bring up a concern and it would be addressed. This year, our son has the privilege of being a student to Mrs. McCarty who I can’t speak highly enough of. I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time in her classroom and am amazed at the way she is able to kindly and effectively lead the class. The simple phrases, routines and gestures she uses enable her to command the classroom and maintain the focus and function of (I believe) 22 Kindergartners—something which must take the patience of a saint. My jaw just about hit the floor the first time I saw her interact with her class. Our son is academically advanced, and he is also a high energy child. I feared that he would finish his work early and move on to distract his classmates. Mrs. McCarty is wonderful enough to supplement his curriculum with problems and exercises that challenge him and keep him on task. I see these extra problems on the backs of his worksheets. I applaud her for her awareness of his strengths and her willingness to provide him with additional work to keep him engaged. I could go on and on about why we love Western Peaks, but the bottom line is that this school is outstanding and deserves recognition. Thank you for teaching our children and future generation to be “Respectful, Responsible, and Kind”. Go Falcons!-The Leyton’s

This school is extremely racist and bigoted. The teachers (most) only care about grades and don't care about the students themselves. The school is disgusting. Girls are leaving their pads everywhere in the bathrooms because the principal refuses to put trashcans in the bathrooms, the staff keep talking about their political opinions when they're not supposed to. This school is terrible with the exception of a few students and teachers. Do not send your students here and make them miserable.

Biased treatment of students, horrible administration staff . Worst school ever, this school is a perfect example of a broken education system and teachers that only work for their littler paychecks!.
