My children are currently in 3rd and 1st grades, they have been at Wells Branch elem for their entire school careers. I have been very pleased with the diverse make-up of the school. The teachers have gone out of their way to make an effort to accomodate every child. I do feel that discipline problems of some students should be addressed in a fashion that does not effect the entire class. Our principal has made an effort to know every child.
My sone attended K and 1st here under previous principal. We were impressed by the teachers and admin staff. They all gave 110%. His 1st grade teacher was by far the best we've seen. If you look at the cultural and societal make-up of WBE, you'll see children of all backgrounds and, in my opinion, the staff is doing an amazing job of keeping all the children learning and on course. They have good rules to prevent distractions in the class rooms. We're now at a highly rated school in the same district and I wish it had the same staff, faculty, and structure of WBE.
From what I have heard around the neighborhood, multiple teachers are leaving WBE due to things going on on the campus. As a parent I am only privy to so much information, but I do know several are leaving. It makes sense that lack of support would cause good teachers to go elsewhere. I guess maybe I should be thankful this is my daughter's last year there.
The teachers at this school truely are amazing. They are the most dedicated group of professionals I have ever come across in the school system. They do whatever it takes for your children, inspire of the lack of support from the principal. She is basically non-existent from what I can tell, working 3-4 full days a week. When she is there, she is condesending and cold. She doesn't seem to encourage her teachers or help them out. They appear to do their jobs inspire of her. Still, because of the faculty, I will keep my child at WBE because I know her teachers are the best there are. I just hope they stay.
