We have a daughter in the 1st grade at Washington Elementary and the school has been great for her and we have enjoyed supporting the development of an outstanding local elementary school. The principal is involved and passionate, our daughter's kindergarten teacher was outstanding and the community of parents are involved and committed to their kids education.
