West Wing Elementary School, Peoria | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This school unfortunately does not meet the mark with me, and I am regretful that I have to leave one star at all. My son has been attending since we moved in the neighborhood in the beginning of his 7th grade year and the kids that attend with him are; for lack of a better term, complete and utter bullies. If there is an altercation they sign agreements not to talk to the other student, which is a ridiculous punishment for a child. Most of these kids are “privileged” and have zero regard for others and are pretty vicious to any they feel might be “beneath” them. Sadly, because the boundaries are so narrow and most kids walk to and from, all of the kids know where everyone lives. We have fallen victim to many instances of TPing as well as our breaker box being tampered with. My son is made fun of for being Jewish and the VP’s “solution” to that is to have “sensitivity talks” with the bigots that target him. The school claims to have no tolerance for bullying but I’m unsure what the metrics of those standards are. It happens frequently to a lot of students and it’s above the norm in comparison to any other school my son has attended.

This is by far the worst school I have ever attended, I went to West Wing from the 7th-8th grade and it was terrible. The bullying is out of control even though the excuse of a principal is trying to stop it. The teachers don’t even follow the procedures of reporting bullying and just completely ignore it. In the 8th grade the science teacher was fired about 3 months into the school year and we had incompetent substitutes who didn’t know what they were doing on and off for the rest of the year. The 8th grade math teacher in particular was the worst part of 8th grade. She would constantly accuse me of not paying attention and talking in class when I rarely did and then would send me out of the class for that period when I denied it. She was also very unhelpful and would only assist you with something you didn’t understand if you were one of the students she “favorited” over others and as a result of that over half of the kids in my period failed that class. Overall I would beg that you DO NOT send your kids here, it is an absolutely horrible school
