I have one daughter who completed the 4th grade and another who has completed the 1st grade this past year 2009-2010. Through the years, we have had several great teachers and a few that fell a below my expectations. The schools overall are great and very clean. The parent link phone system works well and the website is very informative.

Springtown Elementary is a great school. The teachers are wonderful and have done such a great job with all 3 of my children. All of my children have been top AR readers due to the support they get from thier teaschers and the curriculum.

This is a wonderful school, my daughter and son have both attended. The only fault is transportation. The teachers are involved with parents and with the children one-on-one basis. The classrooms are structured and they have a reward program along with discipline. They are pretty good on new technology as well as all other activities. I would recommend this school to anyone.

The teachers are some of the best teachers in the area. But due to administration rules and changes, I choose to home school my children.
