School Reviews

My daughter is in 5th grade and has been attending WMA since first grade. My son is in first grade and started in kindergarten. We are SO happy with the teachers, administrators, and the school community. Ms. Colleen, the school director, is THE. BEST. She cares about each student, each parent, and each teacher, and she devotes SO much time to this school. The teachers are there because they WANT to be there, and they are caring and attentive to individual students'' needs. The school community is like a family. Highly recommend.
