School 7 is a great school. My daughter has been at this school for three years, and I can personally say that it gets better each year. Every year the children are given more responsibilities and more activities to look forward to. All the teachers are great. The principal is very dedicated and personal with the children. I look forward to two more wounderful years at school 7.

My son has been at school 7 for three years now. His teachers are great, helpful and encourage parent involvement. The student atmosphere is good as well. The secretary is awesome. She is extremely helpful and always pleasant. The principal is outside every morning to greet children and parents. CDV's mom.

My daughter is in a first grade in this school and she loves everyday of it. She is happy and motivated to do her daily assignments. Teacher in her class has a very positive attitude. If warranted, children are challenged with more difficult tasks. Younger children are able to interact with older schoolmates through extracurricular activities. This school is full of positive energy. Principal is a great motivational and spiritual leader to children and teachers. The only lacking aspect of this school is very little involvement of parents.
