This school has the perfect small-town feel and although my son is only in 1st grade, I feel as though so far he has had a great experience. He had a lot of health issues and time off school in kindergarten but his teacher worked closely with me to help him get through. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and personal effort put in by the staff. The principle is very thorough in his work and makes sure things are going well even when things don't go as planned. I can't imagine my son attending a different elementary school.
