My son just finished Estes after having been there since kindergarten. It has been nothing but positive for him from beginning to end! Involved teachers, administrators and a very welcoming atmosphere to all. If you want to volunteer, they are always so grateful and do their best to work with you. I cannot say enough good things about this school. They truly did treat him like family!

The administration at this school and staff are amazing! They go out of their way to make children and parents feel welcome and appreciated. My child with autism is a challenge for anyone but the staff at this school just roll with it. This has to be the best principal we've ever met.

My children have received an amazing, well-rounded education at Estes. Their classes are differentiated, challenging and engaging. Solid leadership and amazing array of extra curricular activities.

I love how dedicated teachers and staff are. there was no single day my children didn't want to go to school and it's already November ;) I also really like how handicapped children are integrated.
