This is to confirm my email address on the review that was just submitted. What I really need is information on the genealogy of August Ahrens.

Greatest Elementary School! Smart choice to attend because they've been around the longest and understand how to teach a child both academically and respectively.

I would not send my children to this school at all. I found the administration to be very unprofessional. There seems to be a lack of communication going on. Not just between the principal and vice-principals, but with everyone else too.

what this school has most is 'ohana' . Teachers, parents as well as students all form a 'family' environment. i've had 4 of my children attend this school.. the oldest who is now 17 and in high school as been a straight A student since then and my other children are doing extremely well. i highly recommend this school to all that care about their kids and are concerned about the care, love and attention that the faculty has to offer their children.
