I'm not happy with this school this year. The majority of the teachers seemed to be under a lot of pressure and only put their efforts in testing. It's was completely disorganized from the beginning, students were behind in their work. Teachers were being pulled to different grades when the school year had already started! That is horrible administration. Homework did not even correlate with what was being taught in class. I'm spending my summer catching my son up for next year. If it wasn't because I know who his teachers will be next year, I would not keep him in this school. Very disappointed with the spanish class as well. They barely get the class during the year and there is no HW to practice unless the child was placed in the EFL program. The afterschool club activities are not so appealing. They can barely open these clubs because no one enrolls. Music is given so early, it doesn't give a chance for others who can't make it at 7:30am an opportunity to learn an instrument. The office staff and administration are friendly. But administration didn't seem to have good control of this year. I hope they step it up because the school has a lot of potential and a lot of parent support. I'm praying this year will be a lot different, if not I don't see my son finishing in this school.

Administration is rude. Many teachers in the upper grades are bitter and take it out on the kids. Do your kids a favor and choose another school that actually cares about your childs education and not their test scores

There are amazing teachers here that really get involved with the lives of the children. It's up to the parents to do the other half. Get involved and you will see how your children succeed!

I was a former student at Whispering Pines Elementary and I think that there is no school better than that one. ALL of the teachers and staff are kind and helpful. I think that WPE is the place where I was truly myself. WPE is like a one big huge family that can never be separated. I was at that school for 7 amazing years( Pre-K - 5th) and I would not change that for the world. I love this school and everything that comes with it and it will always be my favorite school that I attended and I thank this school for all of the amazing years. I would recommend this school to any parent who wants the best for their child From, A former student, Class of 2012
