William V Wright Elementary School Reviews

I love my daughter's incredibly involved teachers, all of the wonderful before-school programs such as: chess team, honors choir, and dance team. There are so many great opportunities for my daughter to excell and be challenged on her level-such as the GATE reading club, individual learning groups, and focus lessons for writing, humanities, computers, etc...

My child has attended this school now for 2 years and the teachers have been wonderful! In fact they have actually been quite demanding in the way they challenge the kids to do better! The principal isnt the best but she means well. She really does care about the kids genuinely! The PTA is wonderful, they are very involved and the school offers a lot of great extra curricular classes too like spanish, dance, art, drama, etc! Unfortunately the schools hands are tied when it comes to traffic directions and crossing guards since the county controls that and no one will bother to volunteer to be a crossing guard! The PTA has been the same 7 ladies for 3 yrs now also because other parents will not get involved. The parents will complain constantly but they will not bother to help out when push comes to shove.

Communications, in general, is very poor. Little interaction, from what we can tell, among teachers, parents, and the administration.

Since this school opened up my child has attended. She is a very bright kid. This school from its front office staff (who are very rude) to the way bullies and how teacher react to the children and parents is poor.. This school is way over crowed and the teachers that are not native nevadians ( which is most) are recent transplants and really are thrown in to the class's with little training or help. I have been lucky with the teachers but it is concerning the lack of communication there is with the parents on test dates, pta. I have made the choice to put my younger kids in private for there own safety and education. Clark County needs to get on the ball. From Childrens safty with crosing roads, to how parnets drive around the school and put more students in classrooms that English is the primary language.

I have had two children at this school since it opened. The teachers are wonderful. Space is limited short sighted on the districts side. But all in all a great school. Moved to this part of town for the better schools.
