Heards Ferry Elementary School
5
I transferred my son from private to this public school. We have been pleased and he likes it. It is much more structured than our previous experience, which is great for my son's personality. The teachers are good and the school is oriented towards individual goals for the kids. Other parents have told me of their experiences of having issues and staff of the school working to quickly resolve any problems.
