The Drake School is truly exceptional! My daughter is currently in kindergarten in Ms. Dawn''s class, and we couldn''t be happier with our experience. The curriculum is outstanding, and the teachers genuinely prioritize their students'' growth and success. Since starting here, my daughter has made incredible progress in reading, writing, math, and more. I highly recommend that parents enroll their children beginning in kindergarten and continue through each grade moving forward. You won''t regret it. Ms. Dawn has been phenomenal. Her communication and teaching style are top-tier, and it''s clear how much she truly cares about each and every child.
