Open Quote This will be my 12th year at WES as a parent. I am pleased with the school overall. Both my kids had good, dedicated teachers and the staff is available for support and feedback. The award-winning PTA is very active and the school is one of the few with a non-profit foundation: The Mustang Education Fund - which raises tens of thousands every year for technology and curriculum enhancements. Many of my friends opted out of private school because the elementary is so strong. You'd be hard pressed to find a better elementary anywhere in Orange County - public or private. Close Quote
