(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - WOW one of the best elementary schools in the Kansas City, MO School District. The principal for the past nine years recently retired. I am sad that she is gone. She was a true leader whose agenda was - children exceeding. Will be interesting to see if the school will maintain after her departure. One of five highest performing schools as well. Will watch to see if the current administrator can maintain the solid foundation she established, especially her many community projects and parent connection. Wow Dr. Squires will be missed not only by Garfield students and staff, but by the district.
