Great teachers and staff who work in buildings that could afford to be updated. Open floor plan classrooms didnt work in the 70's when they were built and are not any better today.

The teachers are wonderful. My 3rd grade daughter has had positive, caring teachers. The Special Education dept. has been nothing short of fantastic when helping my 1st grade special needs daughter. Can't say enough good things.

The teachers are amazing and the school could use the money to help build a new school that is desprately needed. The school was built in the 70's and is falling apart.

For a small town, we have an extremely dedicated staff as well as parents and supporters that make this school truly something unusual and extraordinary! The building itself is over 30 years old and regardless of the structure, the teachers and students love this place and the kids truly thrive under the incredible leadership!

I love the fact that the elementary school has changed reading programs, has begun every day math and is making great strides in becoming an excellent school.

About the tests
