We have been very happy with the 1st grade teacher our son had. She went above and beyond to keep him challenged. He attended 2nd grade classroom since the second week of school for language. She kept him challenged in math as well as carried out many science projects.

My daughter is in the second grade. She transferred from another school in the first grade and everyone made her feel welcomed. As a parent, I am thankful that the curriculum is challenging. I know that she will receive a well-rounded education at West Madison.
