We've moved around so my kids have attended several different schools before selling in at Stowe. We love it. Class sizes seem smaller and everyone- from the front office to the principal- is genuinely interested in the students success. I feel like i could bring any concern i had directly to the faculty and they would be non-judgmental and helpful...(although we've yet to encounter problems!)

"Quiet area with sidewalks to take dogs for walks. Would recommend having a fenced in backyard for your dog where you frequently check on them when outside as kids/adults alike walking around can intentionally tease, agitate your dog. Some don't take good care of their dog and dogs run loose so if you love dogs, you'll constantly be taking dogs in to try to find their owners and return them to safety instead of dumping them at ARL, which has a kill policy.
