My daughter attends school at Weimer, And she loves it there. The WHOLE STAFF at Weimer has been AWESOME. My daughter is currently in the second grade and I have found this school to be the best in the area. The Principal, Teachers, even the secretary are very compassionate and care about the children that attend Weimer. I strongly encourage anyone looking for the right school for there children to attend check out Weimer. THE STAFF HERE ARE WONDERFUL!

Weimer is a very unique Elementary School. It currently lacks the leadership that could make it an awesome school. Support services are lacking. Classroom teachers are hard working and dedicated. Title One Services are weak at best.

My children are now both in their twenties. They attended Weimer. I feel they recieved a very good education and have become successful. I now work at Weimer as a Headstart Aide and I still love it there. The teacher's & staff are all very caring, kind and giving as well as very professional. I just know you can't teach a child if the parent doesn't care enough to send them to school. All parents also need to support the teachers & staff rather than trying to place blame. It takes everyone working together so the child can be the best they can be.
