Small in size, but faculty and staff are always exploring new and big ways to help the students.

Mountainburg Elementary has some very good teachers. I do not like the way the principal talks to the children and looks down at them. I feel that the school could provide healthier choices of food for the children, and I do understand they have to choose from what the government sends, but if we band together maybe there could be change. The food has way too much salt/sodium and fat. I have a special needs child and I do have to praise the middle school and high school special ed department. They are fantastic!
