7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe resources at this school are absolutely amazing. The teachers and staff here go above and beyond to assist students and their families with the tools needed to succeed. The respect, understanding, and love just emanate from the community setting that is provided. The principal at this school is the best I have ever experienced. He is the perfect balance of nurture and discipline which is what every child needs. I appreciate everything this school has to offer. I am in my 6th year with students at this school.Parent Review2y ago - Millennium Elementary School
