It's like a big family! Everybody watches out for everybody in this small town and even though we are small our kids receive the best education! I wouldn't send my kids any where else!

It is a small enough school that can establish the important home/school relationship that is needed for great success. Teachers and parents can work together to provide what is best for the children. In bigger city schools this doesn't happen as often. This school has been a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence for several years. AIB does an excellent job keeping up with the ever-changing expectations in our education system these days.

Boreman faculty and administration is the best! They encourage our kids and keep the parents up to date when a problem is developing not after it's full blown. Thank you Mr Hoover and staff for your assistance in teaching our kids!
