This school is excellent. I transferred my children from a different district, and he difference is night and day. Simms readily helped my daughter with her learning disabilities and set for a 504 program for her as soon as the school year started. She has great grades and is getting the help she needs despite her medical issues. The staff is loving and caring. The principal is awesome. He really cares about the kids, and it shows. I am proud to have my children in this school district. Working with the staff is a joy.
