Chandler Elementary School

Chandler Elementary is an absolute gem. The teachers are wonderful, the school is clean, has an excellent Principal and Administration and we love it. The PTA is small but mighty and gets the job done! The student-body is ethnically diverse and the school grounds aesthetically beautiful with lovely, mature trees and greenery. They have wonderful after-school programs and and the school possesses an overall caring, community vibe. It is truly a Chandler family. My children love it. They are learning so much and blossoming daily. I cannot say enough things about this precious little treasure of a school!
