I believe this school to be outstanding. My son spent his last part of KG here with Mrs Courson and Mrs Mandy and they were wonderful! Austin dearly loved them. Austin also spent the first part of 1st grade here too with Mrs. Mercer whom was also wonderful. These teacher as well as the staff really care for all the kids in this school and know each one by thier first name, and to me that is what keeps kids wanting to go to school. Thank You ALL for a wonderful experience and we will miss all of you....Maria, Austin and Tyler Carnley
