West Middleton Elementary School

Very old and good school. They socialze with parents very well and very good staff.

Awesome school and teachers. They teach how to behave and culture.

Not impressed with the leadership and the difference of consequences among the various races within the school.

It's always challenging to read reviews of a school that we've really enjoyed and had a very positive experience at get completely lambasted anonymously online. While I respect that every family has a different educational experience based on the uniqueness of their children, painting a school as completely "failing" in its duty to educate children and provide a positive learning environment is a great injustice to the daily efforts of administrators, teaching staff and support staff at this school to provide a top quality experience for all children. I'm not an apologist for public education nor do I have any personal vested interest in the reputation of this school...only that our own children get an education that best prepares them for their life ahead. We have had exceptional teachers at West Middleton who have always given as much time as needed to convey the strengthens and areas of opportunity for our children to excel. Expectations are set high and the teachers have proven more than capable of delivering on those high standards in the classroom. Our family is not immune to having a child that requires a unique teaching skill set in order to connect. However, every teacher we've communicated this to has responded by offering additional support and communication to ensure we were comfortable with the progress in the classroom. I will acknowledge that there have been times when we've preferred to see a more disciplined approach to periods of the day when children are mixing and mingling in common spaces. This suggests that personal accountability is not culturally engrained yet even as leadership has transitioned in recent years. However, in spite of some short comings that are born more of our own subjective preference, this family is more than pleased at the education our children continue to receive at West Middleton and I encourage parents or prospective parents to have their own conversations with the leadership and staff of this school to better understand the passion and commitment that exists to get our kids off on the right foot in their educational journey. Our family, for one, recommends this school without reservation.
