    "All four of my kids attended WCS. Because of the parent club and charter curriculum, it provides music, arts, computer labs, reading labs. The school provides full music programs. The campus was completely rebuilt in 2006. The principal knows not only each of the 720 students by name as he welcomes each student to school as they enter the parking lot, he knows their parents by name as well. He leads the faculty and staff by example and is an excellent leader. This is a public charter school, but has the feel of a private education."

    "For this school to be rated a "9" is silly: They acheived state goals in every category on the State's annual test, and did so without teaching to the test and without emphasizing reading & math test scores to the detriment of a balanced education. I have a job that allows me to live anywhere. My wife and I moved here because we found it to be superior to any school in the state. (We both have advanced degrees. I have taught medical school, and my wife home schooled two of our children for one year.) Teachers love teaching here...partly because of the charter, partly because of the amazing principal, and partly because parents literally line up to volunteer...and it shows. Despite state cutbacks, the school continues to offer regular, quality experiences with art, music, PE, computer, library, and field trips. And, despite other good ("9") schools nearby, the waiting list to get in (if you are in the catchment area of one of those other schools) is depressingly and almost hopelessly long. That's because the well-educated and motivated parents of this valley know this is one of the best schools in the state. But they are wrong: It is THE best school in the state."
