Western Hills U M C

There's no doubt this school has a great day care program, but avoid at all cost kinder on up. In my case, since my child is struggling with the basics, I do blame the school. Also if your child isn't from Juarez, they will become the outcast like mine and many others have been. It's true you can't rely on other posts, even those that think this school is great. For good reasons, I am a dissatisfied parent.

I love the school. Both my children attend it. My 2 yr old can count to 10, recognize the numbers, knows 2D shapes, recognizes letters etc my other child is ahead of his age group as compared to public school student! You cant rely on other posts every school has dissatisfied parents and its nit always the schools fault. Take it from public school teacher of 15 years!

I too have been dissatisfied with this school. I registered my sons believing this school had a cross country team, student council, and the possibility of enrolling them in 6th grade. I found out none of these things are offered. This is false advertising on their web page. I will be looking for another private school where the teachers are fluent in English and offers true programs for students.

Western Hills Methodist Day School is a great school. My son went to this school since he was three years old and all the way to 5th grade. He is now in public school and he's doing fantastic. That means he was very well prepared from Western Hills. All his teachers did a great job with him. I really do recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a private school with great teachers.

My sons attended this school and now they are graduating from middle school with honors. So Western hills did a great job preparing them for middle school.

After reading the last two reviews, I feel that there some information that needs to be corrected. Private school teachers do not have to be certified to teach in Texas, they only need to be degreed. In going over our staff records, there are 6 teachers that have their bachelor's degrees and three that have their master's degrees. Two of the master's degrees are in education and one in Education Media. The standards at Western Hills UMC are high for both staff and students. Students and teachers who do not meet these standards become dissatisfied and post bad reviews of the school. Since these reviews are anonymous.

Teachers are moms who are offered a teacher's position. They are not true teachers. None of them are certified and some of them do not even speak proper English. If you are looking for daycare, this is the place to go. If you are looking for a real school, avoid at all cost.

My children attended Western Hills UMC and now my grandchild attends. My son is in his second year of law school. Western Hills does an excellent job of teaching the basics and instills a love of reading that stays with the children throughtout their future years of education.

My child has attended this school for the past 7 years and he has thrived here at Wetern Hills Day school. The staff is wonderful and you can tell that the teachers really care about the kids. I recommend this school to all of my friends. The classes are small, ensuring that each child receives extra attention and help in order to be successful.

In addition to the absence of competent administration, non-credited teachers or school, lack of any kind of legitimate standardized testing or way to measure student progress, this "jewel" of a school also falsely advertises the following: Before/After school care Etiquette courses for Kinder-8th grade Low student teacher ratio Chess, Science and Journalism Club Student Council Computer Lab Internet Cross Country and Tennis Athletic Teams Excellent music and physical education programs REGISTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!
