(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My son started at Whispering Forest in Pre-K, he is now nearing the end of third grade there. It has been a wonderful experience. The teachers were always willing to help & the staff is amazing. The parent involvement and P.T.A. sponsored events are fun and have raised funds to help further programs for the school. My son loves movie night! They have a great aftercare program run by a fantastic woman who is also the head of the cafeteria. The school recently won an award for having healthy lunches for the kids presented by Mrs. Obama! We love this school and will miss it when my son moves on to fourth grade! :)
