Weber is a diverse school that works to create a real team atmosphere and create a world view and sense of community for all children!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted May 29, 2006

Weber is a good school. Diversity in this school means much more than African American/White ratios. My kids transferred to Weber from another state and have friends from nations around the world. The staff works hard to teach the children and to create a non-stressful learning environment. Parents are encouraged to play a joint role in the childrens education. The PTO is supportive to individual parents as well as the teachers and staff. The music program at 4th grade level is awesome. I strongly suggest sending your child to this school.
