Prairie Hills Elementary School

Blanca Thompson: My child absolutely loves Prairie Hills Elementary. The Principal and the Staff are really involved. As parents we are given every opportunity to be involved in our child’s classroom and activities that are held. I feel like Prairie Hills is a very safe and comfortable environment for my child to be in. His teaches are very involved and keep us in the loop on everything. I would really recommend this school to anyone that has children. I have also fallen in love with their before and after school care. The staff members are so wonderful and welcoming. An EXCELLENT school!!!!
