Welcome to West Park Elementary School!
WPE is an award-winning school-wide Title I school that prides itself on being known as “a caring community.” We have been recognized twice as a “Brightest Star” school and have been accredited with “Merit” for our programming. Our student performance in academics as well as social development consistently rank high from year to year. Built in 1955, the school is located at 510 Home Street between Ghormley Park and the University of Idaho. Originally built as a first through sixth grade school, the building has been reconfigured many times over the years. Currently, the school is proud to serve kindergarten through second grade. This unique configuration enables us to focus on the needs of primary students which begin with the mastery of reading, math, and social skills.
Our student body of 200 is rich in cultural diversity. Our 40 professional, caring, and innovative staff members are joined by numerous interns and university/community volunteers in an effort to help each child become a successful, lifelong learner.
