Great School, strong parent participation. Close Quote

Couldn't be happier with the school. Our child has been attending Wedgwood for three years now. Wide variety of teachers whose goal is for children to learn as much as possible. Expectations are high which is nice because the more you teach children the more they learn. Set the bar high and children will rise to it. Music, art, and P.E. rotate one week each which is a nice change from semester based. PTA is actively involved in the school and the ladies in the front office are always willing to help with any issues. Close Quote
