School was fine until it came to disciplinary issues. Principal does not properly record incidences and sweeps problems under the rug in order to defend reputation. If you challenge this, you will be dismissed and called a liar. Close Quote

This little school is perfect. From the administration, to the teachers, to the participation of the parents and students. The refer to themselves as "the DueWest Family" and they truly are! My daughter went there 2-5th and unfortunately we moved and my son only got to go K-1. He is now at Still Elementary and every day that I pull away after dropping him off, I mutter to myself how much I miss Due West!! I can not say enough good things about this school! Close Quote
