Elise Peters: I have had children attending this school since 2000. My husband and I chose this neighborhood because of the Peoria school district and it's reputation. I can't say that everything has been perfect over the past 11 years, but, definitely A+ in my book. I really like the current principal and feel that she is doing a great job. The teachers all truly care about their students. I highly recommend this school.
