It is a wonderful school. I have 2 kids that go there and they both love to learn and love their teachers. It is very clean and kept up nicely.

I have nothing but good things to say about this elementary school. The teachers have been great and the principal is very engaged. My kids seem to be thriving there and I have zero complaints

AWFUL!!!!!! My daughter did kindergarten as virtual due to covid but was on site for first grade. Lets just say her teacher paid 0 attention to the students and if incidents happened parents WERE NOT notified and the principal is by far the last person who should be in charge. My daughter went through things i wouldnt wish on any child and if it werent for her telling me i would of never found out!!! She will DEFINITELY be going to another school next year. They advertise everywhere about child safety being their priority.... HA. however, there is one AMAZING counselor there that really does care about the students and goes above and beyond!!!! She is the shining light watching over my daughter every single day until the end of the year. Truly a blessing.

Great school! The administration, staff, and teachers are great. My daughter is now in 2nd grade, even through covid-19 restrictions she is still thriving in a positive school environment. My son is in kinder, he's doing great as well even though his first year of school is during this semi-post pandemic. They have a new principal and vice principal, this contributes to my positive review. The previous heads of admin weren't as effective/positive as the admin there today.

Very clean, involved teachers and staff. Great resources for kids (tutoring, activities, outings, events, groups, programs, etc.)

Mark Twain is a great school. My daughter loved it there. The teaching staff is well trained and works hard to make sure your child is doing well.

Both of my kids attend this school. They are both always challenged and enjoy their classes and teachers. There is a lot of homework sometimes and test scores are very important to the teachers which can be a downside. Overall great school.

No security here at all!!! I do not like that there are a billion parents and people walking all over campus that are not required to sign in or anything in the morning and after school. I do not feel safe leaving my daughter here being as anyone could just grab her and split. Call me overprotective but in today's crazy world with so much bad stuff happening, this school worries me and I have never seen any school allow just any adult to stroll onto its campus. Very disappointed and going to take my daughter's out of this school!

I just transferred my kids from another school district to this school only because this school is rated high. I must admit that my kids were being challenge at their previous school teachers were great even though it had a score of 3. I am not sure how this school has a score of 7 when they hardly give any homework. I am so disappointed with this school I am planning on transferring them back to their previous school district where they will learn and be challenge in every way.

The test scores for this school are high only because it is all they focus on. When we transfered our daughter to this school all we heard were great things about the school. The teachers and staff are very friendly but the teaching standereds are low. I recently found out thatmy daughters teacher uses a video to teach Math with no follow up instruction, she is in 2nd grade. Also in the last 6 months we have been at this school my daughter has brought home a total of 2 test!! The teachers need more training. At least the teacher my daughter had.

Simply put, this is one terrific school. My child has been going here since kindergarten and we've had nothing but outstanding teachers. Mrs. Hall, the principal, is a very caring, devoted educator and we were sad to hear she is transferring to another school. However, I have no doubt she will bring her expertise and positive spirit to her new school and make it just as good as Mark Twain! Keep up the extraordinary work teachers and admins! We are so very lucky to to know our children are in your excellent hands 6 hours a day!
