West Creek Elementary School

Our daughter just started kindergarten this year and had a hard time adapting to all of the change...this school and its faculty have been absolutely amazing! Communication is great, patience and positivity have been just amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this school and the teachers. I do wish they had more extracurricular after school activities...my daughter has now adapted and loves going to school!

Great school. My kindergartner was very well looked after. They run a tight ship and seem very well organized.

Worst elementary school ever. The Principle truthfully could care less about your child if it affects her schools' reputation. BEWARE!

WCES has some very good teachers.the principal runs a tight ship.she is very concerned about the students and is present at every event, whether on school property or at community functions involving students from her school.she is also responsive to parent concerns.

We moved 2 years ago from California and this is like being at a privite school with out the fees. Very caring teachers. My kids can't wait for vacation to be over just to get back to school. They love the school. My husband works 2 hours away and we didn't relocate just because of the school. Not knowing the area moving from California I'm so glad that we found this school. Thank you West Creek.

I think West Creek is a very good school. Dr. Fritzler has always treated me with respect and I believe she has done an excellent job. Two of my children have studied there and I am pleased with WCE. I can't say all the teachers are good unfortunately (as anywhere else), but some of them are excellent, like Miss Koza or Mr Elliot who is the best teacher my children have had so far.

Not at all parent friendly. I received a horrible welcome the first time I brought my girl to school. I just wanted to walk her to her class and see where she studied and was denied access....even though it was my first visit....the leaders are very cold and impersonal. I had to leave her in tears.

Teach only to the FCAT and provide limited challenging programs for real world applications.

I think West Creek E.S. is a top notch school, but it could be better under different leadership. There has been way too much staff turn over.

West Creek is one of the best elementary schools I have ever encountered. In many ways, it functions more like a private school than a public school. Dr. Fritzler knows each and every child's name and their parents in the entire school. Every child is assessed individually and given the appropriate curriculum they need. In one classroom, you could have several different students working at different levels in the same subject. Classroom placement is decided by what is best for the individual child. Great care is taken to make sure each classroom has the make-up to ensure academic success for all. Dr. Fritzler's policy is requests aren't necessary because great care is taken with classroom placements. However, with Dr. Fritzler's open door policy, she will always listen to any parents requests or concerns. West Creek has the best administration and faculty I have ever encountered.
