Kinda meh. I expected a lot more given the reputation of the school district, but there is nothing special here.With taxes what they are here, you'd figure there would be the opportunity to do something unique and forward thinking in the Conejo Valley, but it's pretty standard fare.Spanish language class from the jump? Nope, you have to wait until 8th grade (meanwhile some schools in LA have dual language immersion from kindergarten). WAY too much homework every day, and even on most weekends.Some (most?) of the homework is clearly just busywork.Most teachers seem nice, but def not all.All of the work is assigned virtually through Canvas, so expect your child to be on a computer for hours on end every afternoon, staring into the screen, just a few clicks away from its distractions and temptations. Let's just say the middle-school mind is not well equipped to avoid such distractions. And rather than look for the solution to a problem in the actual textbook (even the online version), it is much easier for kids to just google it.Choir program lost its teacher to another local-ish school a few years back and hasn't recovered yet.Awesome crossing guard though who does a great job protecting the kids!

We love WLE. Our kids attended a local private school during the pandemic and had a great experience so we were hesitant to move them back to WLE but 1.5 years later, we couldn’t be happier. The teachers, staff and families are phenomenal. Our kids are thriving.

My son started as a Junior at this school from NorCal & he loves it. The school provides free food to all students, the staff is friendly & the campus is beautiful. Day 1 we were greeted & escorted to the office, my son felt welcome the minute he stepped foot on campus. Their processes for parent/teacher communication are excellent.
