(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - we have moved quit a bit in the last 3 years. This school is, by far and large one of the highlights of our move to park rapids! The teachers are awsome very open to communication, even on a daily basis. I cannot say enough about our posative experience here. My daughter went to a school with only half day Kindergarden and was behind, the teacher whom i must say is a saint, spent a lot of time and energy getting to know our situation and kept us informed all along. I could go on and on. We are moving again and I know i will miss this school most!!
