My daughter attended first grade here and we loved the school. The office staff was very welcoming, her teacher was supportive and implemented parental suggestions. There was a great deal of parental support throughout the school year. I was pleased with my daughter's 1st grade experience.

The teachers and staff really seem to care about the children and their futures. There are some great teachers there that have taken the time to encourage these children to learn and explore.

MLK is the best elementary school ever! The teachers are fabulous, and they ensure that every student has the tools to ensure that they are able to learn! My son's 2nd grade teacher tweaked the curriculum to ensure that he was able to learn math, and now it's his favorite subject! Thank you MLK for everything you do for my kids!

Martin Luther King Elementary School is wonderful. Coming from another State where schools are overcrowded and programs are basically non-existant, I found MLK a breath of fresh air. They basically saved my daughter and her education. The Principal makes a school and this one has the best. Also - the teachers care, are high quality and work together as teams. If a child fails at MLK it is due to lack of parental involvement and support - not the school.

What a refreshing change from schools in SLC, Utah. My child's fourth grade teacher was a perfect fit for her. The other fourth grade teachers were also caring and supportive. The school and its administration is responsive and caring.

I would have to say overall the school is great. The administation is very supportive. My only concern is with second grade. We experienced an outstanding 1rst grade year and hoped for that in second grade. The first grade teachers were very supportive and caring. My child learned a lot. The 2nd grade is far from that. Eveything we gained in 1rst grade is now gone. The teacher is not at all supportive and is very unwilling to help her students. As a parent, I have to say I am very disappointed with the second grade.
