Washington Elementary School

Amazing! This school is wonderful and my kids love it there!

Our children have been enrolled in Westfair throughout several different grades. As with every school, there are excellent teachers - and some that have to be weeded out....and they have been. Our college student credits the High School courses that he took for his success so far. He says that Mrs. Rothering [H.S. English] thoroughly prepared him for college entry classes and the types of expectations professors would have of him and this is why he is making high honors as a college student. My children all love it here. They have experienced public school before attending Westfair. Parents/students have to understand that there are some things you can't shield your children from and they will face at Westfair some of the same challenges as public school. However, there will be christian teachers and staff who will listen to them, pray with them and help them through their problems. You can't put a price on that. My children have homework almost nightly and have had many outside assignments to complete at the Junior High and High School level. Currently there are very qualified teachers there who challenge my children and require them to put in their best work. 2011-2012

I went to this school from grade 8–sophomore year of high school. Their mental health services are genuinely horrible. I was going through a lot at the time, and they didn’t do much to help. Sometimes they would even blame me for my struggles. The school part is okay, some of the teachers are pretty great, but the dorm part of this place is awful. It’s a residential school, so a lot of the students there are separated from their families except for when we’d go home for the weekends. There’s not much mental health support for that. There was also quite a bit of bullying, and not much was done about that either. Would not recommend sending your children here, unless they’ve dealt with the problems in the dorms and learned to listen to their students.
