(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I attended this school when I was younger, and it holds some of my greatest memories! I am now a mother and moved back to Joshua so my own children could experience Joshua ISD. This school has always gotten the point across..... pay attention and learn. But it is just a much a caring and family oriented school, who truly cares about their impact on the futures of every child they teach!
