My son transferred here last year at the beginning of second grade. I'm not sure who was the most nervous about a new school and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful his teacher, the staff and faculty, and the students were to him. By the end of the first week he loved it. The administration is

I find Swansboro Elementary to be an excellent school with an excellent staff that cares for each and every student. It is a shame that the other parent who provided feedback doesn't take the time to get into the school and see how fortunate her child is to be in such a caring environment.
