Great School. We just started there this year, very good curriculum. Some communication issues as far as not getting important messages and info home when needed (not sending notes home or calling, just passing along a verbal message with child) But, we do have a very young new teacher. Other than that, great school.

Excellent elementary. Great facility, for the most part, excellent teachers ( few older ones than need to retire, but all in all very good). The principal is wonderful, we have had a great experience with Delano Elementary.
