My son has been going to this school since the first grade. I believe that the teachers care and really want to see the kids excel. I think it is a good school and appreciate the teachers and other staff members. They work with me as mother to find solutions to better any situation that may arise.

I have a kindergartener and a neice and nephew (4th and 1st grade respectivly) who attend FL Stanton. We are very pleased with the education they are receiving at FL Stanton. The teachers are more than we expected and they are very concerned about the student's education. They expected only the best from the students so the students have no choice but to give the best. I highly recommend FL Stanton to any parent. My sister and I are also teachers so we expect the best from our children's schools and that's what we got.
