Henry Elementary School

Bilingual , if you are looking for a good bilingual education this is your best choice . Kids learn to speak, write and read Spanish and English perfectly by 5th grade. Please take in consideration that all testing is in Spanish , so kids work twice as much as regular schools without the immersion.
