Weaver Elementary School

The teachers are so great with my kid - they really care about him! When I have a concern, the staff responds quickly and appropriately. My child is really happy with his friends and he feels safe.

My child has Severe ADHD. The teachers and other members of the staff treat him well and deal with his problems quickly. They are very professional and the office staff is amazing.

This is one of the best schools around. The teachers really work hard to make sure the students are getting the best education and the administration is top notch. I would highly recommend this school.

I was a long-term substitute teacher at the school, and I ended up dreading getting up in the morning to go. Students in bilingual first grade were not being taught Spanish, an issue that got me spoken to by the district's bilingual coordinator. I found most teachers to be supportive and helpful, but the office staff were inexcusably rude and put out when I asked questions. I also felt that my hands were tied when it came to dealing with problems in the class, because the principal's response was, "Couldn't they be acting up because they're struggling with [English] vocabulary and they're just frustrated?" Science materials were often not available. But I think the worst thing was the glue-like adherence to the standardized curriculum, which the students and I found boring and not at all engaging. Too much was crammed into one week, without much time for creativity or other approaches. I haven't been back, nor will I be back. Again, most of the teachers do seem to enjoy working with kids, but I think much could be done to improve morale.
