Weatherstone Elementary School

Each grade level will have access to an I-Pad cart. This means my children will be experiencing hands-on learning through cutting edge technology at least once every day! I can't wait to see what the school does with the technological support. (Weatherstone Elementary received its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) designation just this week! Way to go WES!

THE worst school! I hated it. The principal is never there. The kids are mean and all the teachers want good test scores,they DO NOT care about the students. My teacher YELLED and YELLED @ us! WORST

I wouldn't look elsewhere! I love the community feel that the school has and the "can do" attitude of all staff and parents! Weathersone goes ABOVE AND BEYOND in most areas to make it a thriving environment. Caring, supportive, and reaching new heights! Yes, as a parent you have to be an advocate for your child - meet with the teacher, help in the classroom or school activities, and relay your needs/opinions with the staff - they do listen and care.

This is my 2nd year at WES and I've been very pleased with the positive attitude of both the staff and the parents. Whenever I take my child into the class, I'm greeted and welcomed by the staff. Many parents are taking the initiative to become involved in both the classroom and the PTA which can only mean good things for the school. The PTA has done a great job in trying to include all the diverse families at WES, and I particularly like that the principal is using the phone blast system to share important information. Our experience so far has been Kindergarten and 1st grade. The kindergarten teachers did a great job of teaching my child how to be a 'good student' by giving him the skills needed to manage time, get used to the full school day and work well with others. Kudos to the 1st grade teachers for teaching my child by setting high expectations and giving him homework and assignments that are challenging and engaging him as a student. I'm pleased with both the academic and 'we care about our student's' attitude of this school!

We have been attending this school since 2010. I have found their main teachers to be caring, helpful and good educators. Though I have had some concerns with elective teachers overall I have been very happy. I have spoken with the principle at various times & found her to be attentive & understanding of any concerns. The support staff is great especially if you take the time to get to know them. Every school will have its good points and challenges but overall I think this school does well.

Good evening, My wife and I are both working parents and have 3 children that attend Weatherstone. Financially speaking my wife and I can afford to send our kids to private school but chose Weatherstone because the quality of teachers along with the attention paid to my children wouldn't have been different elsewhere. Parents, along with teachers, must stay involved in their kids education and augment/compliment the great work these teachers are doing. Our kids are thriving and I'm grateful to the good teachers and staff at WES.

I have two children enrolled right now and they both love their teachers. My wife and I are very happy with the time and effort made by the teachers and staff and we enjoy spending time volunteering in such a positive environment. Our children are chellenged academically and look forward to going to school and spending time with their friends, what more could a parent want :)

We feel so lucky to have a child at Weatherstone. Jackie at the front office greets me with a friendly face when I come to visit. The cafeteria manager knows my daughter's name and even reminded me she needed more money in her account. When I walk down the hallway I hear teachers using positive reinforcement with their students. The classrooms are full of action and I love seeing it all. The teachers always seem to be moving throughout the classrooms and have a great relationships with their students. The principal has hired some amazing teachers. Both of the my daughter's teachers have had their masters in education. I know I am lucky to have Weatherstone as my daughter's school.

I just wrote a review and somehow the 5 star rating i entered showed up as a four star rating, so i'm trying again :). We love Weatherstone!

The enrollment has continued to decline. Much less students mean losing teachers and staff. Principal is not helpful and often unseen. Teachers do there best, but I feel the school as a whole is declining. I've been here 6 years.
