As a parent of twins with Autism finding the right school to meet their needs has and will always be my priority. The last 4 years at Twain has been outstanding. The teachers, principal, counselor, etc have always been supportive of my children and their special needs. I could always talk to them about needs and issues that were developing and we worked together to ensure my children had what they needed to be successful. The schoool always includes kids with special needs in any and all activities that the regular ed kids were doing. This made my children and I feel like part of the Twain family. I wish my kids could stay at this school until 12th grade with same wonderful staff that has helped them developed in so many areas during the past 4 years.
Wonderful neighborhood school! Only downside ~ it only goes up to 5th grade. Great PTA - well organized! Tons of Parent Volunteers on a daily basis. The Principal and the Teachers really care about their students. Life is a bit easier since students have to wear uniform. ; )
I moved to this area because of the school. I love this school, and my 3 kids love it just as much.
My Grandchildren are going (and have gone) to Mark Twain. It is a terrific school, inclusive activities, great teachers and a wonderful principal loved by all the students.
Twain has great teachers and has a sense of a family commitment
Great school with educators that are really interested in helping the students learn and grow!
The staff is wonderful to work with especially if you have a child attending Special Education classes. They include students with special needs in all their acitivities.
Very nice school. Love Ms. Ryan. She brings a new kind of spark to the school. She is very kind, warm and friendly.
Our three kids have had fantastic teachers every year at Twain. Parents are very involved, and the school is just all around excellent.
Twain is a group of amazing teacher, students, other staff and involved parents. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in a positive education for their children.
