My child has been attending Whitesboro for two years now, and I have been very pleased with the kindergarten and first grade academic programs. The teaching staff are always friendly and were available to talk whenever I needed to. I count myself blessed to be able to send my child to a school like Whitesboro.

I have really been pleased with the staff and the school environment. I am satisfied with the student to teacher ratio and feel it has enabled my daughter to have a better learning experience. The staff, in my opinion, is truly concerned about the children. The test scores, based on the state average, are far better than a lot of school systems. (even larger school systems.) It is an excellent school.
