    "The teachers show favoritism and their line of communication is broken as well. My son hurt is wrist by falling in the yard after a game of basketball with other children and asked to go to the nurse. He was denied as the teacher and staff thought he was downplaying his injured. I had to wait until my son got home to call and tell me that he hurt his wrist and was denied when asked to go to the nurse. The principal even tried to justify his staff's actions. I am looking into other schools for next year and pray that I am able to get my son out of there."

    "I have to say that one of my two children have been attending WSC since it opened. In my noticing how they school is ran I think that there are many unfair practices. For example: My son continues to not turn in his homework even though it is being completed at home. I am not updated with concern from the teacher until it is too late for anything to be done and his report card has been finalized. I see homework assignments being sent home that are non-educational and have no benefits to the learning process of other schools in comparision. Yes, school should be fun but there is a time and place for everything. These children and attendance are going to struggle when they move on to other schools. I hope and pray that these parents wise up!"

    "My seventh grader has been a student at WCS since its opening in 2002! I must say that the first two years were rough in regards to academic support. They have made great strives in providing support both academically and socially to all students. I enjoy the fact that my daughter loves going to school and loves being involved. One suggestion: I would love to see a tutoring program implemented."

    "I have one child currently enrolled at the school who will be entering 1st grade. So far, so good.... no major complaints, my child is on grade level and has progressed academically a great deal. He's reading, writing and doing math. I also love the fact that they incorporate the responsive learning technique in their learning style."
