School Reviews

This is the most wonderful school any of my children have ever been to. You can just feel the love and how much these teachers and the principal, Mr. Jones, really do care about these students. These teachers work really hard to see that your child succeeds. I only had one problem with teacher (Rakestraw). Other than that, this school is the BEST!!! I am so sad we had to move. :( We will never again find another school like this.
