GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
We have been in this school system for 9 years with children at every grade level throughout the district. This has definitely become "Home" for our family. In our experience, the teacher involvement and care for the children Far Exceeds the call of duty at every grade level. Even as the principals changed hands within this school, the integrity and standards of the school were never compromised. Even as we prepare to leave this area, we are looking for schools that have nothing less than the standards of "Home." Thank You MES for Some wonderful childhood memories for my kids!
