School Reviews

My daughter has been at Paloma Creek Elementary for 3 years. I cannot say enough good things about Principal Mead and Vice-Principal Hawkins. They both are very passionate. You can just feel the love they have for their students. I also really appreciate the teachers and the rest of the staff. Especially, her 2nd-grade teacher. My daughter struggled with reading and writing. Her 2nd-grade teacher instilled a love for reading and now she's reading chapter books. I am truly grateful for her teacher.
