West is an underated school. I have had many great experiences with Ms. Meredith and i feel she is very caring and envolved with the children at West. I have two children who have been there since 3rd grade and now are in 8th and 9th grade and my youngest has been there since 1st now going into 5th

Posted by a parent on 1/17/2014This school lacks leadership that cares. Teachers are leaving left and right. The poor students are suffering from lack of leadership which actually seems to put the students first. The principal does not show a caring attitude about the students, staff or the school.

Posted by a parent on 7/30/2012Not a school for special needs kids at all. Teachers and staff had no clue how do handle kids that had disabilities!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWould never send my children here again. Child was assaulted daily until we took her out and they chalked it up to bullying they didn't want to deal with. If anyone asks me, I'd tell them to never let their kids go here. A lot of undisciplined Parkdale kids in here.Parent Review2y ago - Meadow Lark School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhittier Elementary is one of those rare schools where you can feel the heart of the community the moment you walk through the doors. The staff shows an incredible level of dedication, not just to academics but to the whole child; confidence, curiosity, and kindness are nurtured every day. Teachers go above and beyond to make learning engaging and meaningful, and you can tell they truly know and care about each student as an individual.The school culture is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. Families are treated as partners, communication is strong, and there’s a real sense that everyone is working together to help kids thrive. Whether it’s the thoughtful leadership, the creative classroom environments, or the way students are encouraged to grow socially and emotionally, Whittier consistently shines.It’s a place where kids feel safe, valued, and excited to learn, exactly what an elementary school should be.Parent Review3mo ago - Foothills Community Christian School
