[quote=Anonymous]100% hands down West. First, the principal is incredible. Her energy, how she knows kids by name, her excitement is unmatched. The campus is opening this fall and truly jaw dropping. Each early elementary class will have a door directly leading to the younger children playground, lots of outdoor space and so many cool things, huge indoor basketball court, kilm for pottery making, outdoor spaces, huge library etc. Additionally, test scores are exactly aligned to Shepherd which many here reference as a "high performing school" note that West is a title 1 school so the fact that kids are coming from lower incomes but performing on part as what many consider a high performing school with very slim margins of disadvantaged kids is a huge plus in my mind. Also, really warm, inviting and engaged community. Parents care, they know each other, they participate. I can't speak the other schools so i guess my review is bias, however i've never heard one parent speak positively about truesdell or the other school you mentioned. we matched with tuesdell on accident and after a review of the school didn't even consider it as an option. just my two cents not that it's worth much.[/quote]
