Tanque Verde Elementary School

This school is exceptional. The students get special attention, great programs, and a wonderful educational experience. My son has never asked to stay home from school. Each morning he wakes ready to go and excited. That must say something about the teachers. I feel lucky to be affiliated with this school. On a side note: the PTG is so involved and hard-working. I volunteer any chance I get.
