I've had two kids in this school from K-5 and we've loved it. The staff is very caring and communicative. The new principal is doing a fantastic job with correcting some mistakes that the former principal made, thankfully the district made that change. The surrounding community is tight-knit and very involved in all the school's activities.

My child was enrolled in this school only this year, but I'm very satisfied with my kids progress in all aspects. It's been an excellent and rewarding year for my child and my family

This is a wonderful school. The administration and teachers are amazing. The parent involvement is phenomenal. I absolutely love this school. We will be moving soon and I only wish I could take Owen with me!

I cannot say enough good things about this school. Being new to the country and the area things were a little overwhelming. The teachers are very caring and focused. I couldn't wish for a better start for my children.

My son just started kindergarten this year with Ms. Dongarra and I'm sad to have to take him out at mid-year since we will be moving out of state. I did want to share my experience thus far as it has been very good. The kindergartner orientation in the spring was very informative. Even though my son attended pre-school around the second week he become a little overwhelm and decided one day he didn't want to take the bus. I drove him to school and still he wasn't too happy but the faculty including the principal were of great help and made him feel comfortable; since that day I have not had no trouble him not wanting to go to school. I greatly appreciate the attention he is given especially being that he also requires speech therapy.
