School Reviews

Our daughters attended this school for the first time this past year. I have a 1st grader and a 4th grader. They were welcomed into this little community of families and staff members with open loving arms. I love all the staff and teachers and so do my girls. My first grader learned to read and now won't put books down. Before she struggled so much and wasn't interested in learning. Somehow her teacher Mrs. Alworth made a miracle happen. We are so grateful to be part of this school and love that our kids get to grow with the same class of children till 8th grade. All the kids seem so cared after and decent. We feel so lucky to have gotten in here.
