    "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."

    "My oldest daughter attended WBE from K-5. Under the previous principal, Ms. Taylor, (whom the children absolutely adored) the children were taught self control, pride, respect and good behavior. She led the children with a calm gentle voice and without fear. Under the new principal, Ms. Cini, I see the children less under control, the cafeteria is much louder, and the behavior is wilder at the school sponsored public events. It's a shame that the gentle leadership is going away."

    "First let me start by saying the WBE has some of the best trained and most competent teachers I have ever seen. They work hard to promote the learning of all students. I disagree that they do not challenge higher students. The fact that the commended and passing rates on TAKS are rising is proof these teachers are giving 110%. Regardless the make up of the community, I would much rather my children be at WBE where I have seen proof amazing teachers still exist. You could not ask for a more didicated or hard working faculty."
