Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School

Homestead Wakefield has the atmosphere of extended family. The many services that the PTA sponsors and the involvement of the teachers/staff go above and beyond expectations. Your efforts are backed by a very supportive principal. As in any program for your children, your family will get more out of it by being involved. We Iook forward the years to come as well as the friendships that we and our children continue to make. Go Wildcats!

I love this school. This is my daughter's 3rd year. She went to a private school for Kindergarten and we had a lot of issues. She has a reading deficiency and their answer was to hold her back. HWES's answer was...let's work with her. Their reading specialists have done wonders with her. Although still not at grade level yet..she is getting there. The principal is wonderful and seems to know all the kids..even those that don't get in trouble. The school is old but well kept and the air conditioning is finally going into the primary building. I honestly don't have one complaint. GO WILDCATS!

HWES is a great school. I was apprehensive at first because of the age of the school, but the teachers do such a great job, the air conditioning and other deficiencies can definitely be overlooked. The quality of the cirriculum is excellent and it's apparent that the teachers really care about the kids, which is really a reflection on the school's leadership. I've been thoroughly impressed.

Although I am not actually a parent, I do know a thing or two about this school. I am a teacher candidate and I have been working at Homestead/Wakefield with first graders for a few months. I can say that this school is truly a great elementary school. The teachers care about their students, the principal gets involved, the specialists are so good with the kids...I could go on and on. I just love this school.
