(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We have dealt with many schools in the Howard county area, not all has been pleasent. I currently have a student at Howard Elementary and we love it! The school is small enough that the staff knows each child and they are treated like family! It is nice to know that when you send your child off to school you know they are safe. The fact that they enjoy it is just a plus!!
I have seen the level of knowledge the students have going into Jr high and a lot more times than not they are in the top of the class. The teachers teach while letting the students know it can be fun. The kids really seem to strive!
