(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My daughter is going into second grade this year. I did a inner city transfer because I heard wonderful things about this school. It has truly exceeded my expectations. Mary Bowman along with the teaching staff has always encouraged family involvment in the school and I think my daughter has benefited from this. Mary along with the teachers has always made it known that they are there for you for anything that you need. I guess I just can't say enough. I am proud to say my daughter attends Somerset Elementary.
