GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Currier Elementary School has been a strong support for my son by meeting him where he is academically while also nurturing his social and emotional growth. The staff takes a personalized approach to his learning, adjusting instruction to match his current skill level so he can build confidence and make steady progress. Rather than expecting all students to move at the same pace, they provide targeted support and differentiation that allows him to truly understand the material. Had we not been moving to another city we would still be at this school up until 5th grade . We Love Mr. Hugelier!!
