Westarea Elementary School

one of the worst schools in Cumberland County. My child had 8 different teachers in one year. The principal is always sitting in her office, and when she is needed she is never around. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE AND SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. Test grades are terrible, and they should be shut down. This school is a waste of our tax papers money. Upper management needs to fire the principal and get someone who is able to handle the school because she clearly CANNOT! This school needs some teachers who know how to teach!

Below Average is right. The standards here are low, so don't expect much. So far I had to be very involved to get things done or answered. My daughter has an IEP and the school seems to not care.

So far I am not impressed. Lunch accounts are handled poorly, information or help is hard to get from the staff, no extracurricular activities are offered-I would gladly go back to the Hawaii school system where everything was much more hands on. On the other hand the teacher does seem friendly and safety is top priority entering and exiting the school campus.
