Research Wedgwood Elementary School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“Wedgwood is an amazing school in a dumpy building. Although we live in the Bryant reference area, we sent our kindergartener to Wedgwood. We were extremely impressed by the principal, Veronica Gallardo. For instance, she had worked out in advance a plan for whatever math program SDS decided to adopt. The test scores and academic program at Wedgwood are also excellent. Our daughter's teacher in kindergarten is fantastic. (Class size is a concern). The children write and/or draw in a journal every morning. The teacher also emphasized 'environmental print.' I wasn't so sure about it, but it worked--our child is now reading fluently. And the teacher has dealt with potential discipline issues beautifully. She stresses positive discipline. The children believe that everyone in the class is their friend.”

“There is a lot of support at this school for art, music & P.E. (every other day). Parents are very involved in fundraising, after school activities and volunteering in the classroom. The school has 3 Spectrum (gifted) classrooms. There are a lot of high achieving students, so the staff is able to give a lot of attention to those who need extra support.”
