Posted September 27, 2005

My daughter was at Eisenhower from K-3 and we loved the school. The academic quality was very high and advanced concepts were taught in a way that the children were able to grasp. It wasn't just writing letters all day in Kindergarten, they wrote in journals and learned math facts that are still in use today in 5th grade. The Kindergarden teacher in particular as well as Mr Trout in 3rd grade made learning an absolute joy for my daughter.
