Golden Spring Elementary is an excellent school. The academic program works very well. The students score very well in all testing areas. Teachers and all other staff are also excellent. It's obvious that they all care for each and every student. When parents enter the building, we are usually recognized and called by name by all staff. Unfortunately, the school lacks in music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities. The level of parental involvement is fair. A percentage of parents are dependable and volunteer in all needed areas. The population of parents involved in PTO is increasing in participation
