School Reviews

Utterback has seen real improvement in the last year. I understand they have a full compliment of teachers now which is impressive in a district that has trouble filling all of the teacher positions. My kids got involved with the drama program and performed in front of a live audience in a very nice theater. I've been really impressed with the results both in academics, behavior, and their arts programs.
