Happy Fall!
The first quarter of the school year has come and gone and we are well on our way to finishing this semester on a positive note before we turn our attention to 2020.
Attached below is our 2019 annual report. Inside, you will find new data and information about our test scores, district demographics, construction projects, budget, and more. We have much to be excited about, but rest assured we will continue to work extremely hard to make improvements across the board. We will continue to relentlessly pursue EXCELLENCE in all areas.
Thank you for your ongoing support and high expectations. Westside Community Schools is a special place and we must all work together to make it even better.
