Ray K Daily Elementary School was an excellent school to foster my primary learning. I remember how well the faculty treated the children, and my own class teacher, Ms Griselda Ramirez, was a gold star amongst teachers. They always encouraged us to become achievers, and every child was encouraged to have fun when learning.

When my son first started, it wasn't very good. It seemed to not run very well, for the parents, that is. They were great with the students. Now that the new principal is in, she's done some great things and it feels more like a well run school.
