We've since moved from this school district into another state and it's amazing how a school's administration and dedication make a difference.

My son will be leaving kindergarten with the ability to read short stories. They also learned to do simply addition and subtraction.

My son loved kindergarten, but hated first grade. I was not allowed to volunteer in the classroom, and my son began having problems with reading and language arts. He did poorly on the dibels test. There didn't seem to be anyone addressing his needs. It was suggested in October that he be retained,

The students are encouraged to ask questions and work with the other kids, instead of sitting in the corner, possibly loosing the opportunity to identify a problem early in the stage. First signs of any weaknesses in a subject matter is quickly identified by the teacher and related to the parent with options to improve on these areas. Great Schools lead us here and I have not yet regret making the move. Read less
