My daughter goes to West Burlington School, she loves to be in a smaller class. She has ADD and they work so well with her, their willing to do what Best for the student and not the teacher. She had the chance to goto a different school and she really wanted to stay at West Burlington, the School has alot of support from the parents and town.

We come from Texas and this school is very different from the schools down there. In a good way its different cause there is less crime in the schools up here than there is down there and in a bad way and yes there is a bad thing to every school like all other things the education here is behind on alot of things in the schools now a days they have a lot of advaced basics and here in Iowa maybe cause its alot smaller than Texas. They think that they dont need to expalin all the other basic things,but the truth is that they need to advance the programs they have for these kids cause they need to prepare them for whats out there now a days.So the answer you all parents are looking for Yes West Burlington Schools are great but they can always look into different lesson plans.
