I have open enrolled my 2 children Estes and we LOVE IT. We travel the distance needed to be part of such an amazing school. The principal builds strong relationships with the students and calls every child by name. The teachers & admin use various outlets to keep parents informed about upcoming activities. The school hosts tons of family events to build community and a welcoming school culture. This school offers special services to all levels of students, such as GEM, Speech, OT, EL, and Special Education. I think every school deals with discipline issues and bullying at times, but this school really tries hard to encourage important character skills like acceptance, open-mindedness, inclusion, and integrity, in order to foster a loving environment.
