This school has a wonderful acedemics program and is a great place to be with the friendly staff
5 4/22/2008
This is a very good school. It is focused on getting each child a quality education. They have a well rounded curiculum and the teachers genuinely care about each student. The staff are always friendly and ready to lend any help or advice they can give. They respond quickly to the needs of the children. They have an abundance of facilities to ensure each child has access to what they need to complete thier academic requirements to move on to the next grade and eventually to middle school. Parental involvement is phenomenal, I have never seen parents so ready to give time and money to help EVERY child succeed. This elementary school is well worth looking into if you are planning to move here, or being stationed here by the military. It is close to the gate that leads from Ft. Rucker to Daleville traffic is not bad compared to neighboring cities. There are also very good daycares for younger siblings enroute to the school. There is one day care that is open from 5:30 am to 7pm. I would definitely recommend this school.
