"We love WHES and are proud to be part of the family here. My daughter absolutely loves it. Despite district changes, demands, and cuts, this school offers a challenging academic program with all the fun and activities that have been taken away from most schools. These are trying times in public education and we must do whatever we can to support our schools. WHES allows for hope in a broken system that is critical to our community."

"I know my experience at WHE has little to do with current quality, but I went to WHE from 3rd grade (1971) to 6th (1974) (it was K-6 in those days). The teachers were all magnificent, caring people, the school was very well run, and the quality of education put me well ahead of kids I was classed with at Parkman Junior High School. Very fond memories of my time there and I am happy to see it is still a very highly rated school."

"To the last poster: Do not let a few people with sour grapes, prevent you from allowing your children to experience a school that is one of the top elementary schools in the STATE! You can not please everyone and that is what you are seeing in these postings. As a long term employee (over 10 years); rest assured, most parents and students are happy and proud to be members of the WHES family. We have a staff that is second to none and our parents community is wonderful. Administration and support staff (office, custodial and cafeteria) are behind the teachers 110%! Our curriculum is academically rigorous while serving each individual child's need specifically. We have a fabulous PE coach and our PATT (Parents and Teachers Together) group are quite supportive; they have provided our school with most of our aide time (if it were up to the district; we would have very, very little aide time), they also provide our students with an afterschool enrichment program filled with classes that span the interests of our school population (drawing, chess, creative writing, hip hop,cooking...) Please find out for yourself whether this is the school for you and don't let a few naysayers sway you."

"I was considering this school for my children, but after reading all of the reviews it sounds like there is a lot of hostile energy at this school. I'm not sure if I want to subject my kids to that type of environment."

"I would like to respond to #12 and the lady above her. At one time WHES shinned above all else. I have been at the school for the past 6 years as an aide and it is deteriorated greatly, party due to the funding situation in the state, party due to over-obsessing PTA in fundraising, and party due to changing kids. You say that WHES is a california distinguished school but it is NO LONGER the case. WHES is not renewing their status/application as a distinguished school this year, yet our neighbor at Calabash is busy writing their application right now. It needs to be answered why we chose not to do this. My peers at Calabash are excited about it, but not at WHES... do the teachers even know we are not renewing? The hard work of Mrs. Feig has all but been erased as we start 2012."
