Wesley Lakes Elementary School

Wesley Lakes Elementary cares about their students. The teachers here would love to see more parent involvement! We have seen an increase in our parent involvement and it has made all the difference in the world. I strive daily to provide quality instruction and invite you to see the changes in our school. So often a few negative opinions can unjustly give our school a bad reputation. Come and experience the changes here at WLE. We are changing for the better. Come and see the new WLE!!!!!!!

At first after reading all the reviews on WLE I wasnt happy at all that my child was going here. However, with the new teaching methods, smaller classrooms and communication I have received, I see that this school cares to turn things around for the best. My child just started to go here this past year but from what I have seen these parents care, the school faculty cares and this school seems to be trying to improve and really change things around for the best. With all of the different support groups for moms, dads and SEIP programs. Good for you WLE, Keep up the good work!

Horrible School all around. No parent involvement. Lack of money and funding. Teachers do not even take the Box Tops when I sent them in. The school is not diverse in race. Old school building. Just not a good school in general.

Correction! WLE may be a Title I Distinguished school and I am an involved parent; However, I did noticed that there wasn't a response for the support of the school leadership. Additionally, WLE has not made AYP in years! Do some research. The school leadership or lack there of, is much larger than "teachers going the extra mile". Teachers can only do so much when they are micromanaged. Did you know that the teachers at this school could not send home graded work because they are instructed to keep a portfolio of each student and are only allowed a limited amount of copies? This also affects the quality of homework a teacher can send home for students. Did you know that WLE is not in compliance with most 504 plans and modification mandates? Did you know that WLE is one the lowest scoring schools in mathematics in Henry County?

Wesley Lakes Elementary is a Title I distinguished school that despite their lack of parental support is one of the top scoring schools in the county. The teachers do their best to support student achievement and will go the extra mile to meet the needs of every student. I do agree that the discipline and school rules can be enforced much better and they could be more organized, but you cannot find a better group of teachers who really care. Instead of complaining, get involved.

So far my experience with Wesley Lakes Elementary has been wonderful. I think it truly is up to the parents to be more involved with their children and their education. I have two daughters there now and I have fantastic and wonderful teachers who keep me informed and involved in their individual progress. I can reach them anytime for conferences, advice, etc..parents you carry the weight and responsibility of ensuring your child's success in school, no matter what the obstacles are. As parents, we have more power than we know.

This is my child's first and hopefully last year at Wesley Lakes. We have had nothing but problems. I have lost all faith in this school and its employees.

This school has teachers not just employees and I am a very proud of the academic success I see in my children.

It seems like the school has low expectations for teachers as well as students. Teachers are sloppy and rules seem to be seldom enforced. School-wide behavior is very poor.
