Acacia Elementary School
Chris: Our grandaugher is at Acacia she excels in all of her classes due to the student ratio to teacher. Teachers and also Mr. Woods principal of Acacia go above and beyond to make sure that every student has the best opportunities to grow in their education goals. As a grandparent to another grandaughter that attended Acaia and also a grandson who will be attending Acia, in a couple of years.I highly recommend this school to any parent , grandparent family that is thinking about sending their child to this school.
