Worst Elementary school my family has ever dealt with.

My experience has been more than wonderful with my two children. Mrs. Fagan, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Taylor and now Mrs. Benedict there are all exceptional teachers.

Unfortunately this school is not a place to bring your child, especially if he or she has ANY exceptionalities. Teachers do not receive the support they need to properly teach ALL children as a result ALL children suffer.
