Academics

West is a PS - 8 Education Campus.  We enroll approximately 250 students in 13 classes.  We support 2 PS, 2 PK and 1 (K-8) classrooms throughout our building.

The classes are clustered into the early childhood cluster (PS/PK), primary cluster (K-2), lower school cluster (3-5) and the upper school cluster (6-8).  By utilizing a cluster system we can support teachers to collaborate across classes, enrich the educational experience of our students and ensure that our cross cutting services for Special Education, English Language Learners and SOAR (program for advanced learners) are innovative and appropriate.
