“We've been involved with the school for 3 years now and are highly impressed with the individual attention our son is getting. As a struggling student, the staff are working diligently to meet his needs in a variety of manners. I'm highly impressed by their response.”

“My child has attended WCS for 2 years, and it has been wonderful! We moved to the valley in first grade, and it was a very easy transition. The principal and teachers are excellent! Strong parent involvement and a very welcoming environment. This school is worth the waiting list to get in. Unfortunately, we are relocating again, and hope to find a school as wonderful as WCS in our new city!”

“The best school in the valley! The staff really cares. The principal stands out front every day and greets the students and parents. Academics are top notch. Students are greeted each day 'Welcome super-students'. Because excellence is expected, excellence is achieved. That is the mind-set of the staff. They believe each student can be great. Last year my daughter happly read over 300 books! Her thirst for knowledge is nurtured by teachers and staff. This is the school you hope your child will be admitted.”

“Washington Charter is a wonderful school. With tremendous parental involvement, the feeling of community is strong within the school. The leadership of the Principal, Allen Lehmann, has made the level of respect and responsibility among the staff and students so high. The children want to please him. Being a good kid is 'cool', and excelling in academics or extracurricular activities is worth striving for. The only drawback with this school is that every grade level has one or two 'undesirable' teachers, some of whom may be leaving the school in the next few years due to retirement anyway. Parents who are very involved with the school tend to have more power when it comes to keeping their kids out of those classrooms. Outside of that, the only other complaint would be that the school itself is very old, which will be solved in the next two years as the modernization project gets underway, and a new, beautiful school will be in place for all our kids!”

“I am so fortunate that my son attends WCS. I could not be happier with the faculty and staff. They are so dedicated to the children who attend, and to their success not just in elementary school but the future as well. Mr. Lehmann the Principal is such an amazing Educator. He knows every child by name and how they are doing and he is constantly offering praise and positive comments. Mr. Lehmann makes sure the parents are always informed of school happenings, testing scores and any vital information. My child has grown by leaps and bounds since attending Washington. I cannot recommend a finer school in our area and most of California. If you have a chance to let your child attend, do it. You will be so happy you did.”
