West Gate Elementary School

Weems school has rude school staff. Teachers do not have patience with younger kids and raise their voices at the children instead of having patience with them. These people should not be around children if they lack the patience and kindness. The school staff also lack the responsibility of telling the parents of a child what is going on in the classrooms and do not take in consideration how a parent will feel knowing their child is not being treated right. The women in office are very rude and the teachers in the drop off area are also rude and look upon parents they think are below them. Overall not a good school.

warm and welcoming by staff and school leaders

Worst experience ever!!!! My son was bullied until we moved and got him away from that school! He was in kindergarten and two students that I believe were brothers would hit my son every day at recess and not let him play on anything! The teacher was older with knee problems and would sit in the bench at recess. My son told her what was happening and she told him do not be a tattle tail. She told me she never saw anything however other students were told not to play with my son and it got worse. He tryed to avoid them by not having free time with the students instead going to art or on a tablet because those were his safest areas. I told the principal multiple times and met with her and she said that the students apologized to Anthony but she believes it is a misunderstanding because bullying doesn’t happen in kindergarten. It got worse now my son has no choice but to fight back and THEN HE GETS IN TROUBLE not the other students. Also at this point my son can not concentrate on learning and is sad every day at school and his grades are going down. I REPEAT WORSE SCHOOL EVER!!! so glad I got my son out of there but sadly he still has sad memories and feelings of loneliness and betrayal.

Amazing school. Teachers and staff are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My child absolutely loves this school

Merit School has been 5/5 on everything in the almost year we've been here. We're aging out of the infant program and the teachers and staff are nothing but engaged with us, available, and active in our kid's growth. Our child had a special therapist for a developmental issue and we got to have them come to the school and we all sat down together and taught the teachers some activities they can use with our child. Would recommend to anyone and I have many times.
