West Point School

Unless you want a "woke" agenda shoved down your kids throats, then this is the place for you! "Human Rights" agenda is being focused on mostly in the classes instead of teaching the material.. I felt my child was being kept behind. The school was behind in teaching history and math that should be covered for a 5th grader. No SEM program for gifted students. Little to no field trips. I switched my child to another school close by and I have seen a massive diffence in just 2 weeks. I do not recommend this school at all! Teachers are angry and poor communication.

My daughter attended this school for kindergarten and first grade. In both cases she had excellent teachers who had to manage a lot more students than they should. Regardless, both teachers excelled and provided my student with the extra attention and support she needed. My kiddo is an anxious one, and a quick text or email to the teacher always resulted in the extra attention (sometimes she just needs a hug!) she needed to feel safe, loved, and ready to learn.Academically, my student received everything she needed! Speech therapy, star reading class, and probably one other specialty program I'm not recalling. Would I like more special attention for my student? Yes, but what she received was enough to improve all of her test scores and keep her at grade level despite her unusually stressful home circumstances. Really can't say enough good things about every teacher and faculty member we interacted with here. Big shout outs to Thorne and Gonzalez, both of whom are excellent teachers.

Lakeside has fantastic teachers that really challenge students and provide enrichment for gifted students. I have 3 kids that attend Lakeside. They all need opportunities to enhance their current learning. I feel there is not a single teacher that I would not want to teach my child. Lakeside is a very welcoming school and also a place where my kids feel safe and cared for. I'm so grateful for the fantastic team they have there.

Great experience. We've attended 4 other elementary schools because we move a lot and I am happy to stay at this one.
