When my daughter was a student there, the school staff was so supportive & caring. I feel like it is a true example of 'no child left behind'. As well as exemplifying 'it takes a village to raise a child'. I don't believe that this kind of personal care & concern would have been possible in a larger school. Today she is a successful college sophmore studying forensic science thanks to the strong educational foundation that she received at Undermountain Elementary.

My son attends this school. It is a good school with caring professionals. It can be hard to keep good teachers because we are so rural and housing is so unaffordable here. Last year my son had some struggles and his teachers all met to formulate a plan. They were really invested in his success and with their support he turned the year around.

This is an extraordinary school. it's small enough (85) so that virtually every student is known by all the teachers. The school climate supports learning in creative ways so that kids may be outside in the garden or working on projects or making discoveries through one of the science-through art special units/productions put on in cooperation with Flying cloud Institute. The building is old and lacks a gym, but the really important features for positive learning are present; more than anything else this means a talented and dedicated group of teachers.
