West Side Elementary School

This school is in a very small town, and families should be aware that it operates more like a closed system than a supportive educational environment.My child was placed in a situation where the school played a role in keeping him there and separating him from his family, instead of working with us. There was no meaningful effort to communicate, de-escalate, or protect the parent-child relationship. Decisions were made that had long-lasting emotional and legal consequences for our family, and they were handled carelessly.Academically, the school is deeply lacking. Students are not challenged, expectations are low, and very little real learning takes place. It felt more like supervision than education.If you are a parent who values transparency, strong academics, and a school that respects families, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
