I feel this school offers a great program to the students, and had excellent treachers
—Submitted by a parent


Posted April 16, 2007

West End Elementary is a terrific school and as a former student, I have to say it's the best. I enjoyed going there and I miss that school. When I came I felt very welcome. The teachers are teffific! Mrs. Jane Anderson is a terrific principal!

West End has a very unique and positive attitude towards education. Mostly due to the incredible way our Principal, Mrs. Jane Anderson, brings to the school very high values and morals which are passed on by example to all students and teachers equally. It truly feels like a large family and I am very fortunate to have my children attending.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
