School Reviews
| 5 All three of my children have attended this school and we absolutely LOVE it. We relocated here when my oldest was in third grade. This was the BEST school she attended in her elementary years. My other two went here throughout their elementary years. Administration, faculty, and staff are all AMAZING!! This school has such a family-loving feeling and administration greets and creates relationships with all the students. FOREVER A DOLPHIN! - Posted by Parent - Forever a Dolphin |
| 1 This school has really disappointed our family. Administration has gone downhill. - Posted by Parent - Anonymous |
| 5 I've been here almost 3 years ago and overall it was a pretty decent school. I am currently going into high school in Washington county, I just wanted to say hey to all the staff there. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Abby Walker |
