Both of my children went to Tussing. It is by far the best school they have ever attended. We are a military family and have moved on, but so far no other school comes close to Tussing. Wonderful teachers and Mr. Staples is the best principle I have ever seen.

My son has attended this school since kindergarten and we have loved it! The staff is very caring and loving and I truly love the front office! They know every child and Mr Staples and Mrs Johnson-Eley run that school with a firm but loving hand!
