Our family moved to Berkeley Springs a year and a half ago and we LOVE Widmyer Elementary school. We have two children who attend there and they love going to school everyday. Mr. Weber who is the current principal does an outstanding job of staying connected to the children and parents of Widmyer. He greets them every morning at drop off. Our kids are so happy if he is the one who gets to help them out of our car...my youngest makes sure she gets a hug each morning and Mr. Weber always checks out our sons mowhawk for height/stiffness each morning! LOL He make syou feel welcomed and relaxed and involved which as a parent is so important. I know at anytime I could go to him if need be and I would be heard.

There are some wonderful teachers and staff members on the Widmyer team as well. I always feel like they are all working together to make our childrens education not only #1 but fun and enjoyable. They are always thinking up special celebration days for the children and special assembly programs. The offer a Star Student program which recognises that weeks star of each class and invite the parents in for lunch and they also have a Wall of Fame for children whom are caught doing good deeds...my children feel so special to be choosen for these things.

I think Widmyer is a first rate school...we are actually likely moving this year and one of the reasons I dread to have to is b/c I hate to leave this school. If you like a hometown feel with people who make your child feel recognised and special Widmyer is a perfect fit!

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
