School Reviews

My son attends the sixth grade in Elgin. I picked this school, because it is smaller and because of it's status as a blue ribbon school. Everyone knows Dylan, faculty and staff know him by name and treat him like an individual. Dylan has greatly exceeded my expectations at this school by being on principals honor roll every nine weeks since he started school there. Not bad for a military kid on his third school in three years! I credit the teachers and staff at Elgin Middle school with helping him succeed so spectacularly.
