I think Bernd is a nice school My daughter likes it.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted July 26, 2007

I would not let my child attend Agnes Elementary School. My daughter attended in the third grade only and int was terrible. The staff (especially the administrative staff) are very unprofessional and seem to not really care about the children. Anytime an activity at the school was planned the school charged for everything.
