Wegeforth Elementary
Basic Information
Organization and Responsibilities Description
Harry M. Wegeforth Elementary is a small neighborhood elementary school located in Serra Mesa. We are the Dance School! All children attending Wegeforth Elementary receive lessons in dance weekly, and perform in two dance presentations per year. We are currently expanding our dance program and bringing more neighborhood awareness to it, as Wegeforth is the only Dance School in the Serra Mesa cluster.
Approximately 40% of our students attend our school through the School Choice program. Many families speak a language other than English at home. Languages spoken include Spanish, Vietnamese, Persian, Chinese dialects, Japanese, Tagalog, Samoan, Korean, African dialects, Arabic and ASL.
We are proud to serve the individual needs of all our students. Over half of our students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Approximately 16% are English Learners. Approximately 10% of our families have at least one parent who is on active duty in the military. Our CDC and extended-day program combined serve over 100 children.
Student shadows will provide support in the classroom.
