West Elementary School

As both an educator and a parent I have experienced many different schools and school districts. Each has their own approach. The people at West are among the hardest working, most compassionate I have ever known. The population is a challenging one to work with, and the circumstances of the community at large play a major role in what resources are available. The staff at West is dedicated, responsive, and devoted to the notion that all students "can and will" learn and be successful. There are struggles with behavior and academics, but there are plans being implemented to improve and the overall school culture is one of inclusion and development of social "upstanders". I have a choice in where to send my children, and my choice is West.

Horrendous parents are better off homeschooling, it is a joke.

An awesome teacher should be recognized at West school who teaches the 2nd grade their. This teacher is amazing with her patience with the students in her classroom. Walk into her room and you will get a great western welcome. There is something to be said for a teacher that teaches in a school that she was enrolled in as a child. Coolidge is a small town and it is amazing to see the wonderful teachers who could have chosen to teach somewhere else, stay in their community. The smiles on their faces daily as the students come in to the classes make this school a great place to be every day. The dedication of so many teachers is what makes this school amazing. Parents get involved in your school! Volunteer in the classrooms to demonstrate to your child that their education is your top priority. Promote your child's success by taking time to read to them or help them with their homework. Their future can be bright and fruitful with your encouragement.

I use to go to this before I moved back to california and I must say that I really loved this school. In the 7th grade I met the coolest teachers there and one of them is the assistant principal -Mr. Bruno. Bruno was an excellent history teacher he made history amazing instead of making it boring, I remember that we never touch the history book and always made the class laugh and had debates across the classroom. Mr. Bruno made history alive in his class room and till this day I still like history class people say it's boring but not to me . From your old student -Ismael Perez

Mr. Bruno is an excellent asst. principal at West School. He has a great relationship with the students. My daughter adores him and looks forward to seeing him every morning! He greets parents, students and staff in a friendly way and makes them feel welcome at his school!
