School Reviews

This is a good school. I have 2 kids who attends at this school. The principal Mr Parker and the teachers are very approachable and knowledgeable. Their art teacher Ms Fitzgerald is very involved in participating outside school art activities motivating and supporting her students talent in art . What I liked most as a parent is that the principal (Mr Parker), always reminds us (parents) about the kids activities in school by sending us recorded messages thru phone. He is very dedicated to his work and to students. Overall, I am satisfied and happy that my kids are studying at that school, in Glenmar Elem. School.
