School Reviews

Unfortunately the staff at Conewago Elementary School do not do well with following IEPs or with being respectful when dealing with the students in their care. I would caution parents to look into other local schools, particularly ones where their child will feel valued and accepted. The level of education here also leaves much to be desired.
