  • Dogwood elementary has been such a great change for my 6 year year old daughter. We just moved her 1 year ago from Columbia, and my daughter was scared to start school because of all the stories of how bad the schools were getting, the fights, shootings, and even killings. We moved our family here not knowing exactly what we were doing or where we were headed, but I have to say this is the BEST school I have read about, heard about, seen, or imagined putting my children into!
