My daughter is in kinder at Almond and doing amazing. She has a little trouble learning how to read right now and they have a phonics program she will be going to. The teacher and I had a call on the weekend. What teachers offer their weekend time? I've never met a more caring teacher. Loving Almond Elementary so far.

This school has an been an unwelcoming headache. Don’t go here if both parents work as they still operate as if they expect at least one parent to be available 100% of the time.

Amazing and satisfied. A great community. Tireless teachers who enjoy stretching their kids. Fabulous parent volunteers.
