My daughter started MSE in P-K. It was very hard for me to let go because she is my ONLY child but when she started going to MSE I knew she would be safe and that I could TRUST the staff there to care for her like I do. Everyone is so polite! The teachers care, keep you informed the way you child is progressing or not progressing which ever it may be. My daughter is in first grade this year, it gets better with each year! I am really going to be sad when she has to leave this EXCELLANT school..... You know your child is safe when you walk in the door & everyone knows your name. The teachers at this school go way beyond my expectations,& I award them for this and THANK them... When she does leave the teachers to come have some HUGE shoes to fill!

I love Mansfield Elementary School. I have taught at Mansfield for 19 years and truly love the community atmosphere and the wonderful, caring parents and staff that make our school what it is today. As a teacher, knowing our administration, staff and parents are willing to pull together to go the extra mile in order to ensure excellence in today's educational setting makes me very proud be a teacher at Mansfield.

My daughter attended a private school from the age of 2 through Pre-K.I decided to transfer her to Mansfield Elementary when she reached the Kindergarten level because so many of my friends have children who attend there, and I had heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone. To my delight, Mansfield has exceeded even my expectations (which are really high!). The principal. G.W. Davis,Jr. is very hands-on,and he encourages parent participation. I have also found him to be extremely open to feedback, criticism, and truly cares about the children.When parents describe this school, the most common comment you will hear is that 'Mansfield Elementary is the closest thing to a private school out there.' I strongly encourage any parent to send their children to Mansfield Elementary.I absolutely cherish this school, the teachers, and staff!

I am not a parent... But I did go to Mandfield Elementary when I was a child. I have watched the school grow from a two building establishment into the beautiful place it is now. I find that I am the person I am today because of my wonderful childhood that included Mansfield Elementary. I got a very good education. It is a very wonderful place. If it were a middle and highschool I would have continued to go there.

We love MES!! My only son is in Pre-K and I never thought I could feel at ease when he's away from me but the great staff and personal attention to every child/family has overwhelmed me. You just don't get that anymore in this time. My son is learning so many things and having a great time. I'm also impressed with how I am involved and informed regarding all aspects of my child's education. It's just un-real! I won't everyone to know that MES is the BEST and GREAT JOB!! Thank you MES!!

My oldest son started at MES in Pre-K and is now in the 5th grade and we have have a wonderful experience--I am sad that he must go into middle school next year. Now my youngest has started and is in the first grade. We love all of the teachers and staff and I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience at MES.

Mansfield is a wonderful school. It is one of the only schools left that still give the chldren a home-like feel. The food is all country recipes that are wonderful. I would recommend Mansfield Elementary to any parent that wants their children to grow up in a old fashioned and loving school and community!
