[quote=Anonymous]I am in IB parent with 1 child at West and we, like others are optimistic and a bit nervous by the prospect of West into a new and improved ward 4 middle school and high school option. My older child went to Oyster and School Without Walls so I have an affinity to keeping my kids in DCPS.

We have been very impressed by the teachers and staff at West along with the atmosphere of learning and expectation. The kids are amazingly well-behaved - the building is quiet during academic time and the kids look you in the eye and say hello when they see you in the halls, hold doors and are generally nice and respectful to each other.

The class sizes are very small. This year (PK) my daughters class had 13 students and 2 teachers. And while the ration goes down as they get older, it is still a lot of individual attention. The school has a lot of great programs including enrichment programs and some advanced learning programs.

Mostly I love the sense of community at West and the idea that the kids we see at Hamilton Rec and around the neighborhood are the kids from school. We are committed to working to make it a great neighborhood school and hopefully will have the middle and high schools that are the same.[/quote]
