(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I love Melinda Heights Elementary and my son has not been happier. Came from a private school before attending here and he is now in the 3rd grade. He loves it and hasn't lost his want to learn which is so good! I would love to get a more recent update of the school information. Example: average class size, how many teachers currently, part timers, things like that. I'm interested...Thanks.
