GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Our family loves Laurel Dell. Our son is entering 2nd grade next year, so his Elementary school experience has been a bit of a wacky one as both his Kindergarten and 1st grade years were affected by COVID closures. The principal and teachers have been extraordinary throughout the past two years. My son is performing at or above grade level, which is incredible considering half of his elementary education has been remote. The staff is dedicated to student safety, well-being, and academic success, and it shows. The Laurel Dell staff and parent community is loving and we have something very special here.

"Girstle park is great. The play area has decent shade and is large. The downtown bars and coffee shops along 4th street are worth the trip too"

"As a dog owner I would expect more common courtesy when walking your dog. Don’t get me wrong, the owners are nice. Dogs too, mostly. But your dogs poop is your responsibility, not the owners of the yards they poop in. Bring a bag!"
