I taught in Miami for three years and the Miami-Dade school district is my benchmark (being the 4th largest in the country). Contrasting my past experience, Western's organization and support have been much better which has enabled the teachers to be creative and caring while attempting to enhance teaching techniques. The student populace exhibits a much higher number of motivated pupils who wish to do well academically. Those having difficulty with behaving suitably inside classrooms are given assistance to modify their conduct & understand limits -- readying them for whatever they decide after k-12 schooling. All current seniors have options for postsecondary education, indicating that this institution looks after helping each student plot out future choices. more ... hide ...

They even lost one of my children twice due to a gate being left open. When I saw my son heading out into the street while two cars were driving by and the teachers just watching, I was appalled. A.R.S 15-105 clearly states that they can take action to stop a child from hurting themselves or others, yet they said it wasn't allowed in this case because him running into oncoming traffic didn't qualify as dangerous? To add insult to injury, instead of accepting responsibility for their mistake, the principal lectured me about teaching my kids how to follow rules! Fortunately, they did have enough sense this time around to call 9-1-1. more ... hide ...

I highly recommend this school for your children, as it was the best one I ever attended and I achieved straight A's there. Regrettably, I left at fourth grade.

Unfortunately, it appears the new principles don't prioritize the welfare of the students; I had to continually complain about classroom cleanliness and even on the last day it hadn't been addressed. Additionally, you would think that walkers would be allowed to enter through open gates with a crossing guard for protection, but no! I have seen little kids running across streets alone, risking their lives by potential traffic collisions. There is also danger in the parking lot due to people dropping off students without caring for other pedestrians’ safety. I attempted to call the offices but received no response from any provided phone numbers. Therefore, I'm taking this issue to district-level - we'll see how that goes! They may claim they're understaffed; however they should act instead of sitting idle and hire part-time help if necessary. more ... hide ...
