Accelerated Elementary Charter School
We love ACES! It is a wonderful opportunity for our kids to learn Spanish in a nurturing yet challenging environment. The test scores don't concern us because of the fact that dual immersion students often don't test higher until the upper grades. In our global society, the value of learning another language, for our family, outweighs other imposed standards from the state. You couldn't ask for a better principal or staff!
