West Gresham Elementary School

West has the best parent involvement and volunteers. I was the volunteer coordinator and know this from first hand experience. Staff and parents are there for the kids and to do what's in their best interest. They work hard in everything they do.

My two daughters had a tremendous start in their education at West Gresham Grade School. Their teachers: Ms Schmidt, Holevas, Maney, Cogdill, Walp, Kamiski, Lewis, and principals: Mr. Stanley and Mr. Wood offered my daughters opportunities to grow and succeed academically, as well as promoting and enhancing strong characters and self-esteem. As a fellow educator, I am grateful to the positive, supportive atmosphere and quality staff (including office, library, cafeteria, custodial staff and teaching assistants)that impacted my children's young lives. Gresham Grade School will always have our support.

The parent/teacher communication is lax at best. My daughter was allowed to first grade without any proper communication that it was going to happen.

After choosing to transfer my child out of the east grade school in gresham and send her to west,I am very happy with this decision. The teachers are excellent. I would recommend this school to any parent.
