(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is definitely the best in Davenport. My child spent a month at Loughman Oaks and when I received the call that he reached the top of the waiting list, I couldn't have been happier. The staff is great and I honestly can't say one negative thing about the school. A all the way around!!!
