Bullying is a problem, band teacher horrible, counselors not there to answer questions or help, if your student has health and/or learning differences do not send your student here!!!
Posted by a parent on 7/10/2019This school was a superb transition from middle school to high school. It was a great bonding opportunity for each class of students to look around and know that everyone else is also in 9th grade. The teachers and staff are amazing and provide a wealth of information and advice to navigate the next
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2017This school is supposed to create an easier transition into high school for oncoming students. They do not make it convienent for students or families.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFairmeadows is a gem of a school. It is a small school with great heart! The students quickly feel at home because of the compassion and dedication of the staff. I could not be happier with the education my students are receiving here!Parent Review7y ago - Western Hills Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnsafe school pickup environment/lack of oversight and the school does not enforce the established protocol creating daily ongoing safety issues for both students and parents. Altercations between parents as a result. All schools are busy during drop off and pickup, but Western Hills is especially busy and clogged both within the school areas and lining the surrounding streets. Principal does not respond to parent concerns.Parent Review1mo ago - Westridge Elementary School

The teachers are great with our kids, we always receive the positive feedback and the aria of opportunities and growth.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey wont let parents bring breast milk or formula of their choice once baby hits 12 months. This would worry any parent not knowing the kind of ( unsterilised) bottles they use to feed them and how clean they keep them or if they even care of wash them and what if the baby doesn't like what they feed? NO ANSWERS for such questions from the managementParent Review7y ago - Sayre Montessori School
