School Reviews

5   3/10/2023
Our 4th-grade daughter has had a very positive experience at WB. Overall, she has been challenged (and she is a strong academic performer) and has enjoyed the variety of special programs: music/choir, Spanish (currently not offered in 22-23), art, and wellness. She has also enjoyed after-school clubs: chess, yoga, and especially the Acting Up musical theater group. We have been impressed with the professionalism of the admin and teachers and love the general neighborhood experience (lots of people walking/biking/scootering to the school and kids playing on the grounds after school). The technology aspect has been great too-- large touchscreens for learning, and laptops (which she used to take home with her every day). We originally tried for Glendale and ended up very happy that she attended WB instead.
