(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have had 2 step-sons complete their K-5 education here, and now have a daughter whom is now is 1st Grade. I could not ask for a better school, nor better staff. My daughter has been challenged to levels I never thought she could accomplish at her age, and to my surprise she has mastered them with ease. This school gives a new meaning to "No Child Left Behind". They allow each child to learn at their own pace and level. Taking more time with those learning at a lower level, while also taking those learning at a faster level to even greater heights. For this I am eternally grateful. This school also goes to great lengths to encourage parent involvement, which I take advantage of every chance I get. There is great communication, and a very "open door" policy at this school. The staff all have one thing in common here, and that is "They care about the education and future of every student". In my opinion these things listed above are the definition of a GREAT SCHOOL!
