My daughter attended Cassville Elementary School and had the most loving, caring, and competent teachers that could be found. This is definitely a five star school. Many of the teachers graduated Phi Kappa Phi which means they graduated university in the top ten percent of the entire graduation class. Dr. Geeta McMillan is an excellent principal working there presently. November 15, 2010

My son loves this school and everyone there! The teachers have all been very friendly and caring. They are definitely not one of the bigger schools, but they are the biggest when it comes to what matters - love for the children and a desire to teach and help all children there. I would definitely recommend Cassville. I plan on all of my children attending through the years, and maybe someday I will get the joy of being a teacher there myself!

Cassville is a great school. It is a small country school and that is what I like .I attended this school so I guess I am a little partial. I have two children who will are attending this fall. The teachers are great. Every teacher at Cassville will put full efforts into reaching your childs full potential. The are very easy to work with if problems do arise. We will be receving a new principal this fall. All the teachers and faculty are dedicated to the children and their future. I give this school the highest rating. Cassville may not be one of the bigger schools but it has just as big of a heart.My children love it they would not want to go anywehre else.
