We LOVE this school. Our child was in the full day kindergarten class an now in First grade. We have had amazing teachers and the principal is great too. The API test scores prove that the school has continued to maintain a high average of learning. We are very impressed with Fisher. The PTA is very active and does lots of fun things for the students throughout the year. I can't say enough about this school!

My kids absolutely love this school, and my husband and I love the school because the teachers all seem so dedicated to the children. No slackers working here!

'We are new to Fisher and I am very pleased with the way my children have been treated. All of the staff that we have encountered have been very friendly and the general school atmosphere seeems to be very student oriented. The principal and office staff have been very helpful and professional.'

We are new to Fisher this year and have found it to be a wonderful school. The work and expectations of the students seem to be on a higher level here but the teachers still make learning a lot of fun. As principal, Mrs. Gordon interacts with kids and obviously enjoys them. From the test scores shown on this site, it appears that Fisher has many bright students who are happy to be here. I know we are!
