My oldest daughter has attended Sango since kindergarden and I must say, I would not let her go to any other school in the county. Test scores prove that Sango is by far the best! It takes a village to raise a child and I am so thankful my village includes this school. What a wonderful job all of the staff do! Bravo!

My fourth grader will probably just pass this year. Do to the fact that her grades do not refect my childs academics but her responsibity. And unfortunalety, the teacher has been unable to teach that. Seriously, how can a test be missing (by several kids) and it remain the students fault only. My child was always an honor roll student and now barely passing. As well as other students with who's parents i have spoken with. Hello-red flag. If a teacher has a three page printing of students missing assignements-why is no one questioning this.

I have a 4th grader, 3rd grader and 1st grader. this is the 3rd school my 2 older children have attended and it's by far the best. It even beats out the private school they attended a couple of years ago. Wonderful, caring teachers who are interested in challenging the children to their full potential. There are several (very inexpensive) extracurricular activities available to the children, like chess club and bookclub. Many of the parents are involved with things like accelerated reader, math superstars etc. The school is very appreciative of parent volunteers and recently had a 'thank-you' breakfast for us.
