Parent Rating Average
We moved to this community 3 years ago and I am so glad we did! The school district is extraordinary and community programs like Teen Turf make this town really special. Where else can a parent feel so welcome having lunch with their child, visiting during recess, and volunteering in various roles? The PTO sponsors meaningful shows and other events while the administration is known for thinking outside the box to support the students, teachers, and families they serve. Thank you, Amboy!
