Love This school! The staff truly cares about each student; they're learning and proficiency, their home life, their achievements, and so much more! The teachers really focus on each students continued advancement. If a student needs additional work in an area, they make it a priority to help them improve. If a student has mastered an area, they continue to provide harder work so the student can continue to progress and not stop where they are. Mrs Speer is the best! It truly feels like a family!
