School Reviews
5 1/17/2018
I am very impressed with all of the teachers I have had so far. I have 2 daughters, 2nd and 3rd grade, who have been at Arno since kindergarten. Communication is very good at this school, lots of e-mails and blogs to keep you updated. They have a great reading program, my daughter improved so much in 2nd grade and when I spoke to her 3rd grade teacher about keeping her on track now that she has improved, she has given her extra help and recommended her for another pilot reading program. I couldn't be happier with how Arno is looking out for all students at all levels.
