Teachers and administration work very hard in this school. They are friendly and welcoming from the front office all the way to the cafeteria. Kids are happy and love their school. Both of my children are excited to be at school every day!

I have a child at Poole Elementary since 2004 and have been very pleased. As a former teacher myself, I can confidently say that this school has all the components of a great school- effective, caring, and personable teachers; fair and involved adminstators, a wonderful and inviting facility, and a overall staff working together for the betterment of the students. Who could ask for more?
