Juvenile Justice Center

I would recommend this as one of the best elementary schools in Springfield. Small classes, caring teachers, walkable to neighbors in Woodland Heights, but without the endless busy-ness of a more affluent school. Our kids are flourishing and excelling academically. I credit this largely to the positive atmosphere that encourages a love of learning at his school.

They act capable, but are absolutely not. Very disappointing that they don't have passionate and kind staff/leadership to go along with the newer building :/

This is the worst school I've ever dealt with. They do not communicate with parents and use unethical punishment methods.

Our overall experience at Weller has been great. The kids are rewarded for hard work, supported when they need it, engaged and enriched by genuine teachers, and cared for on a community level beyond what any other school we've attended has done. Before Weller, our kids were bogged down with homework, unhappy and mediocre in their studies, and we had no desire to be involved but now as PTO parents, with kids who are thriving and succeeding beyond the score charts, we couldn't be happier or more grateful for Weller Elementary.

My grandchild attend school here. The teachers really care about the kids and the administration creates a safe environment for kids to learn and grow. We love going to the family events and Grandparent’s Day every year! We wish we had a school like Dayspring when our kids were younger.
