I have never talked to a single other kid who didn't love Timberlane! Even tough the school is very big and you often get lost, teachers are always roaming the halls trying to help you find your way!

All I can say is 'WOW.' Since I moved into the area I have seen a remarkable difference in my daughter. Between her teachers and her friends I couldn't imagine having her anywhere else. It has brought my daughter out of her shell.

This school is great! It's big enough for the students, but small enough that they know where their friends lockers are.
