West Springfield Elementary School

Wonderful school! My son and daughter love this school and so do my husband and I. I have never heard one negative thing. The principal and assistant principal are easy to access and very attentive to parents and students. We only expect to be here for two years, but may try to stick around so the kids can continue in this school.

Small school with strong teacher/student interaction

This is school is a great school. The more important is the curriculum of each grade level is very consistent. The kids learn a lot in a friendly environment. Parents are involved. And the staff is open. We moved in another state since September and my two kids and I can see the difference. Even when we were looking for a new school we tried to find the best in our new neighborhood, but the difference here, they train the kids to succeed in final tests not to learn all the year long.

We were new to the area (military) and stumbled upon this gem of a school. Sadly, we were only there two years. Our daughter was in 2nd and 3rd grade, and our son did one year of Kindergarten. Lots of parent volunteers, outstanding teachers. School should be rated a 10!

This has been our first experience with public schools and we are completely satisfied. Unfortunately we will be moving at the end of this school year and we are very sad to be leaving this school. It is a very warm environment for students and parents with a staff that is very approachable from teachers to the office. The 3 kindergarten teachers work together as a well-developed team which is a huge attribute for their Kindergarten program. My son has Mrs. Pagliaro and I feel that has been a great fit for us. I would and do recommend this school to whomever I talk to.

Fabulous school; our three daughters recieved an excellent education here. They were well prepared when they moved on to middle school. As parents we were welcomed with open arms to be part of the team. The PTA is very active and supportive of the students and staff. The principal is dedicated and highly motivated while the other staff are willing to put in the time it takes to make sure each student succeeds.

This school is the best! We are a military family and have moved back so our kids can attend WSES! Our 4 children are getting a 'private' education. The teachers are fantastic and strive to meet each child's needs and challenges. The ENTIRE staff has always respected me as part of the team and we have worked together to assist my child with his personal and academic issues. They are the BEST!

WSES has basically provided our children with a private school education/environment. The teachers are phenomenal, and the parental involvement is off the charts.
