We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son went to this school many years ago. We never had any issues that were not positive. We still live in the area, and the children who attend this school are well behaved. I love the section of Vinton this school serves.

My son just started school (5 years old) and the teacher loses patience with him. I wish we never moved here. Bad first experience.
