not much resources from district to support school activities. The building is very old and need some renovations. And a lot of good teachers end it up leaving the school.

The school Westchester Academy for International Studies has prepared me for college level courses. The worst part about this school is the budget as cutbacks have been made so education does not feel like it is on the same level it was 1 year ago. I would like to see a change in the schools resources for the children. White there is many opportunities, the school needs to expand there options for classes and other extracurriculars.

I've enjoyed the years that I have been at Westchester. I have been there since I was in middle school. Although a small school gets tiring I've always enjoyed the teacher relationships you're able to easily make.

Just completed our first year at WAIS. Very happy with the teachers and administration--they are excellent and care about each student as an individual. IB program is great, and academic achievement is celebrated. Students are allowed and encouraged to be individuals. Excellent school.
