  • Responsible, hard-working and dedicated, caring teachers give students confidence. Very organized as far as students and assignments are concerned. Students tend to learn better in this type of school environment- I wouldn't let my children attend any other school except this one! Teachers and bus drivers really care about their students and provide best education possible in this state in my opinion.

  • Great school with great teachers and kids. The curriculum is one of the most advanced in the entire city. I would go as far to say about 6 months ahead! My child changed schools and began at a new school at the start of a new school year, only to find that the new school was just learning what the old school had already taught. My child felt like it was a review for the first half of the school year. We switched back to this school for the following school year and are still there now.
    The teachers are great and very personal with the children, they really care about EACH one. We are blessed to have such a great public school in Lauderdale County. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!!
