I love this school. I attend here when I was younger and now my daughter does. It's one of the districts elementary school that isn't so big you feel your child is forgotten. It is a neighborhood school so most of your school mates are in the same area/neighborhood which I love. This school is one of the best in USD 500

"i say it is a pretty amazing neighborhood but i wouldn't walk around here in some areas because there is no sidewalks but there is no crimes and if there are they are minor like house fires and rarely if ever a drug bust but everything is kid friendly, nice neighbors, and most importantly amazing schools for kids. For elderly and retiring it is a great neighborhood to move into because there is no loud music, nice and peaceful quietness and nature all around. We also have a historic house over here called sauer castle. "
