As already mentioned by the review before me, the school is run by a secretary that has been there forever. The fun and engaging principal was "dealt" with and dismissed and the replacement principal has been horrible. Between the replacement principal and the School Board's incessant need for redistricting every 2 years due to poor and pitiful planning by the county overall and the school board specifically, we decided to leave the county. If we only had a couple more years in the HoCo school system, we would have stuck it out, but with a 2 year old this school system would have caused me an ulcer.Overall, the teachers at this school are great. The headache with admin at the school level and the HCPSS and BOE was just unbearable.

This school is part of a very small community. When my kids started at the school the principal was fun and had energy and new ideas. Unfortunately, the office staff (who had been running the school) did not like being usurped. So she effectively go the principal transferred. The principal they brought in to replace him is so apathetic and void of emotion. She cares nothing for the students. That being said most of the teachers are wonderful. The pe teacher,music teacher and media specialist are phenomenal and my children loved them. All in all my children got a good education which I am very happy for. This is just a very clicky school for parents. If you are not part of the right group of parents prepared to be ostracized.

We love it! A small school where everyone knows your kids' name and even recognizes the parents by name/face. The PTA is very involved.

I had 3 children that attended WFES. All 3 were well supported, well taught and created amazing friendships. It's a small school where all of the kids know each other and the teachers and administration knows each child by name. My kids were well prepared for middle school after attending WFES. Would highly recommend!
