My son is in 3rd grade and my daughter is in 5th grade at WSES. After attending this school for 6 months, my children have gone from loving and being excited about learning to not wanting to go to school at all. Between the bullying (by teachers and kids) and lack of challenging cirriculum, we are sorely disappointed. They teach to the lowest standard and have no interest in helping find a place for kids who are ahead. They just ignore them until they are on the same low page as everyone else. There is absolutely no communication from anyone at the school and TAKS is their main concern. We should have never put our kids in this environment and are actively looking for alternatives.

I love WSES... My 3 children are getting an excellent education here. The teachers are caring and creative. I do not see the daily TAKS drilling that I have seen in other schools. I feel like my kids are prepared for whatever test comes their way because of the quality of instruction. Both the principal and assistant principal are involved and visible. The entire staff at WSES seems excited about their job everyday. My youngest daughter is in special ed. and I have been very impressed with the level of service and the expertise of the staff.

WSE is awesome!! We love the new principal and the staff is great. My 3rd grader is a GT student and all of her needs are being met. She is in love with school. My 1st grader is thrilled to go to school and loves his teacher. TAKS is a reality and we just have to live with it until more people get involved in education in this state. If you're not involved you really can't complain. I feel as though my kids are getting the best education possible (including private schooling).

My son just finished 3rd grade at WSES, and we could not be happier with the experience. The 3rd grade staff is awesome...that Immigration Day and the Seussical Musical were so cool. We were up at the school all the time for some program or other. The TAKS is a reality in Texas, but not as bad here as other places. Trust me.
