We became part of the CE family four years ago. This is an awesome school, and the staff is amazing. Everyone is incredibly friendly, professional, and truly cares about the well-being and success of each and every child in the school. The principal, Megan Klinginsmith was named the 2018 Principal of the Year and she has done so much and has been a tremendous leader to make the school what it is today. We love this school and our CE family and could not imagine our kids anywhere else.

I have visited this school and is by far the least freindly of all Carmel Clay Schools. Not professional and seems to be a little behind the rest.
