(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am so impressed with the staff at Shannon Elemenary School in Pinole, CA.
The principal is visible all over the school before, during and after school. This school has a hometown feel with the old school rules.
The staff seems very dedicated to the students and overall the school seems special in someway. Safe, clean and wonderful environment.
