Western Avenue Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-09-18 “We feel very fortunate to be a part of this school for it's academic achievements and extra curricular opportunities. Although we've been impressed with the teachings of the 'pillars' we find the observances and follow-through by the teachers and principals to be lacking. The relentless teasing and hurt feelings seem to fall on deaf ears.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-02-27 “The school is wonderful! The school administrators are great, and the teachers are fantastic! Way to go Western Avenue!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-29 “Ask and you shall receive. The new adminstration is very open to new ideas. The ISAT scores continue to increase so instruction should continue. My children are blossoming, the teachers are wonderful and the Gifted Ed teacher is outstanding. I am very pleased with my choice to enroll my children at Western Ave.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-06-21 “There are many things to love about Western Avenue School: the Art program, Music program and PE are strong and vibrant. Most of the classroom teachers are caring and nurturing. The Gifted Ed teacher is superior. There is a lot of standardize testing in this district; and a lot of instructional hours spent towards preparing for the the standardized tests. Of some concern is the validity of the make-up sessions (when students miss scheduled tests). The spelling, handwriting and geography strands are a little tedious. I do not think this school has realized its' potential yet. I am hopeful that the new principal and new assistant principal --both young and new to administration--along with several new Board Members will enable this school to blossom.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-07-28 “I have great concerns about this school's administrative support. Although they preach they want parent involvement, they tend feel they have total control over my child's discipline and turn a blind eye on teacher/support accountability. The teachers are wonderful, but seem to take the roll of a bullied employee. Put simply, the principal does not want any bad spots on her pristine apple. I say let kids be kids, or how will they ever learn to be adults? This isn't a military school for heavens sake! Oh, and don't look to the superintendant for support either. It will get you know where.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-03 “This school is GREAT. Teachers are very skilled and attentive to children's need and have open communication with parents. We love this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-22 “This school offers many opportunities for it's students to excell and work up to their potential. The programs are multi-leveled with room to advance.”
