Martin Luther King, Junior Elementary School

Keana Dollar: This school is one of the greatest school I know. I have 2 sons attending this school and they make sure that they focus on kids academics and science as well as other subjects. My sons come home and are so excited about their education and their teachers. They enjoy going to school everyday and I get great feedback from their teachers on how they are doing as well as how I can help them become better achievers. I love this school and frankly wish their were more educational programs out here that cared about our kids future now and beyond their schooling.
