Fantastic School - Have been in the school for 3 years. Teacher's are ALL exceptional. This year, new Principal. Already it is proving to be a great year with her on board! Look forward to the remaining years in this school.
We have been at Weddington Elem. for a couple of years now. The teaches are great but are handicapped by the school's administration. The 08-09 WDES Administration emits a very negative environment and are demeaning to parents and staff. Many of the staff and parents 'avoid' contact as much as possible with the school's administration. Capital contributions are very small - shows the heart of the community towards this school! We can't wait to be free of WDES! In spite of the poor administration, the teachers have great hearts.
My child is at Weddington and we are unimpressed thus far. The first semester has passed and we can't say he learned one new skill or task. He is at the top of his class but no challenging work is given. The class does alot of peer groups. I don't feel like another student has the ability to teach academics. The classrooms are large with little relief from teacher assistants. Good test scores don't necessarily mean a great school. If Weddington suppose to be top notch, I wouldn't want to see the other schools here in Union County. How sad for our children.
The good news about this school is that it has good test scores. The bad news is that test scores are the only aspect of your child that is valued at this school. Your child will be an expert at testing and scantrons upon graduation as this is what he/she will do for much of the year and for 3 solid months in the spring preparing for the EOG's.
