If you find the aesthetics of Truesdell to be too much of a turn off, then you probably won't be interested in West. The people inside are great, but the building is not.


+1. And PP, have you ever been inside Truesdell? I have seen worse (the old Bridges building, where Breakthrough is going to be, for instance). We are likely going to be at Truesdell for PK3. The principal seems really great. I don't understand why the higher SES neighborhood parents aren't giving the school a chance, like they do for instance with Langley (whose scores are worse). Now entering in 3rd grade, for OP, may be a different matter, given that there won't be many (or any?) other kids of her demographic yet.


No, I totally admit that I've never been inside, but the fenced in, dilapidated, hard-surface playground is discouraging.


Better than no playground, like some schools in this city (like Breakthrough)! And do you really want your school playground not to be fenced in? I think it's a must for the little ones.


Have you seen it?


Yes, I've also been inside and talked to the principal. We have enrolled for PK3.
