Benbrook Elementary School

My daughter has been at Ridglea Hills for three years. She loves it and is thriving with the amazing teaching staff. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. There are many great events throughout the year to bring families together.

This school has been the worst experience of my life. I and my peers had to walk out of the classroom multiple times the day disrupting our work while one student in the classroom was harassing the teachers or another student. Students performing these acts had to be dragged or pulled out of the classroom by the only male teachers in the school. We never were able to complete or fully understand our assignments. I recommend not going to this school because it will affect your child and how they learn and grow throughout their learning journey.

Westpark Elementary is unlike any other school. The school and facility feel like family. They truly know and care for the kids. Both my sons have attended Westpark, and it was an awesome experience for both. My youngest needed additional help since he has ADHD and Autism. They were so supportive and followed his 504 to a "T" even suggesting small changes based on knowing my son personally. My oldest needed to be challenged, so he was accepted into GT (Gifted and Talented) classes. Finally, I can't forget the PTA. They are so helpful and supportive of the teachers and students. The school couldn't run as efficiently without them.

I graduated in May of 2021, and I absolutely LOVE FWCD. I cannot emphasize how much the competitive academic environment progressed my academic career. Impassioned teachers and ambitious students challenged me to be at my best, which has applied to every aspect of my life (e.g., extracurriculars, jobs, etc.). To prospective students: if you attend this school, take advantage of the many opportunities and resources available to you; it will provide many long-term benefits.
