    Westerly Hills has allowed a 3rd grade student to slip through the system. Not only did this child squeak by hardly knowing how to spell his last name but had missed over 25 days in the first quarter. It is not the child's fault. This oversight is the fault of the mother and the school. Now the child is way behind and has to overcome many challenges that should have never been ignored. If the parent is not doing their job with hygiene attendance and making sure education is being properly maintained; then the school should have stepped up and not let the child be an oversight. It is laziness on both parts and your grade from me is below POOR. Thankfully the child is getting better guidance and goes to a MUCH better school.

    This is NOT a charter school. It is a traditional elementary school part of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.
