Mills River Elementary School

My son has been going to Mills River for three years. It is such a great school and atmosphere. They are working on a new school and I am sure it will be better and better. Mr. Treadway is the best principle I have ever met. We may be moving to Pinehurst this summer and we are really fretting about leaving such a good school.

My daughter has been going to Mills River for about 4 months and I love this school. Her first day she came home so happy to have friends. All the staff and the children are extremely nice. It makes it so much easier to know that your child is happy when you leave them at school. The education is great too. This is a great small town/in the country school. (and that is what I like)

My opinion may be of limited use in that my son has only been in MRE for the past two months. However, his - and my - experience has been extraordinary. Every single interaction that I have had with teachers, the principal, the office staff, guidance counselor, PSPM coordinator and the parents has been outstanding. They all seem to operate under the same mission: I will do everything I can to serve the educational and even personal needs of your child. I have never seen anything like it in my life. We moved here this summer from NYC, where my son was in a gifted program. He was not happy any one day for two years of going to school, and I thought it was him. He is now joy-filled everyday. I cry as I write this--because of the miracles that occur there daily. They very obviously love what they do.
